Any Canadians in real estate finance on WSO?

I've just taken on a new role as an analyst in RE investments/AM at a firm which provides transaction advisory services focused on commercial RE. I'm based in Canada, and new to the industry - I was curious to know whether there were others in real estate (development, AM, acquisitions, PE, brokerage) in Canada on this site to talk about their experiences in the space.

Interested in hearing about some of the projects you've touched on, your experiences, and any tips you might have for someone who's just starting out here in Canadia.

What kind of cap rates are you seeing on Moose ranches and Maple Syrup distilleries?
