Ottawa County proclaims April 2026 as Sexual Assault Awareness Month
Summary
After a presentation by outreach specialist Tanya Paul, the commissioners unanimously approved a proclamation designating April 2026 as Sexual Assault Awareness Month and encouraged residents to support survivors and prevention efforts.
Tanya Paul, an outreach specialist for the regional advocacy organization, read a proclamation and outlined local awareness activities including Denim Day and a May 30 awareness run in Salina.
