Working on behalf of all Aurora residents, the Community Relations Division's mission is to advocate the effective use of available human, community and social service resources. This is accomplished by networking; providing cultural awareness training, translator/interpreter services, information, referrals and resources; and coordinating programs to meet the needs of our diverse community.
Some of the programs and services include the Human Relations Commission, the Veterans’ Affairs Commission, the Multicultural Program and the Key Community Response Team. The division also organizes a number of annual events and produces several multilingual publications.
