Greene is a lifetime British Columbia Volleyball Association member. In addition, he organized symposiums on the incorporation of the City of Victoria and the founding of the Hudson Bay Company’s Fort Victoria.
The Greene family owns Capital Iron, and Greene was the second owner before handing the reigns to his daughter and son-in- law.
Four other Islanders were honoured during the Jan. 30 ceremony, including Alberta “Wadzeed” Billy, Michael Langridge, Brandon Laur and Kris Patterson.
