WINNIPEG, MB – The Property Registry announced today that Dennis Barnhart has been appointed its new General Manager. His role becomes effective immediately and Mr. Barnhart will be based in Winnipeg.
“Dennis has been a valued and respected member of the Teranet team since January 2010, and has played an instrumental role in the growth of the organization over the last eight years,” said Elgin Farewell, President and CEO of Teranet.
Prior to this appointment, Mr. Barnhart served as the Chief Strategy and Integration Officer for Teranet in Toronto and led Teranet’s strategic planning processes and was a key member of the business development team.
