St. Catharines councillor Bruce Williamson is calling it a love letter from the city to the Tragically Hip.
Williamson asking fellow councillors to throw their support behind a grassroots campaign to convince the federal government to award the Hip, the Order of Canada.
The motion passed unanimously.
The Hip shocking fans earlier this month, announcing frontman Gord Downie was suffering terminal brain cancer and the band would launch a final farewell tour this summer.
