Hockey is a very popular sport, especially in Colorado, but a lot of kids here never get the chance to play because of costs and other barriers. Thanks to the city's We Are Aurora Youth program and a partnership between the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Department and a nonprofit called Hockey without Boundaries, that's changing. We'll show you how the free program is making the game more accessible to everyone. Also on this week's show, Aurora hosts the annual Day of Resilience to remember, reflect and to celebrate our community's strength; some young girls in Aurora get a big boost in confidence thanks to Aurora Fire Rescue's Camp Spark program; and several organizations and the city team up to dedicate the new Korean War Memorial at General's Park. Those stories and many more this week on Aurora Now.
