Niagara-on-the-Lake tells us James Russell has left the site where he's been protesting
A man who chained himself at a cemetery in Niagara on the Lake, to protest the condition of some of the headstones, has left.
The Town confirmed this with our newsroom yesterday, which wasn't long after James Russell began his hunger strike.
Town council tells us it's hired a licenced archaeologist to do a Stage One Archaeological Assessment, and it's expected to be shared by the end of April.
The assessment is being done in accordance with provincial government guidelines, and in relation to the Funeral, Burials and Cremation Services Act.
The town adds it's committed to working with a local group called Friends of the Forgotten to preserve the site long-term.
