It is with great sadness that we mark the passing of Graham Greene. Graham was a globally recognized film actor and an award-winning stage and television performer, who joined us here at the Stratford Festival for one unforgettable season, in 2007.

They didn't land in Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver.
It was Winnipeg.
And their visit there was a massive event for locals.
This is the story.

Library and Archives Canada’s backlog is delaying books, blocking research, and hurting public knowledge. “Telling our story well depends on our ability to research it properly, and LAC is often more hindrance than help,” writes Mark Bourrie. thewalrus.ca/canada-archives-...

Photo taken on this day in 2021, looking over at a lush Ontario Place as the sun set. Today completely denuded of plant and building. Never forget who did this and the local companies & people who made money off helping out.
