TORONTO, March 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canadian Apartment Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (“CAPREIT”) (TSX: CAR.UN) today announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) has accepted CAPREIT’s notice of intention to renew its normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) for its trust units (“Units”).
