A proclamation ceremony took place on Wednesday, September 1st at City Hall Council Chambers. In partnership with Smiles From Heaven, the City will express the importance of raising childhood cancer awareness. Smiles from Heaven was founded in 2019 with the mission to help children and families affected by cancer.
