Grant has a long, successful career in the oil & gas industry, including Chairman and CEO of Superior Plus Corp., President and CEO of Norcen Energy, Chairman and Director of several public companies and Chairman of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers.

The Board believes that Grant has the necessary vision and experience to help start Tervita on the next phase of its journey, transitioning from a company focused on financial restructuring to a company focused on safe, profitable growth.
