Flag at city hall lowered today to honour Graham Greene

The Canadian flag in front of Stratford city hall has been lowered today to honour Indigenous Canadian actor Graham Greene.

Green, an acclaimed performer on stage and screen, died last week after an illness.

He called Stratford home.

Greene performed on stage at the Stratford Festival as Lenny in Of Mice and Men and Shylock in Merchant of Venice.

He was perhaps best remembered for his Oscar-nominated performance in Dances With Wolves.
