Did you see them? The monarchs just migrated through Aurora on their way to Mexico. It's turning out to be a good year for them, unlike in the past. We talk to one of our city naturalists to find out what it means when it comes to saving these beautiful butterflies.
Also on this week's show, we share a powerful story of double redemption and how it shows the success of the city's SAVE (Standing Against Violence Every Day) program; we take you to a local Vietnamese restaurant that's one of this year's Aurora Business Recognition Award winners and is also being recognized in the Michelin Guide; Aurora celebrates Indigenous People's Day; and a furry friend from the Aurora Animal Shelter stops by our studio to show us how to keep our pets safe, happy and healthy this Halloween.
Those stories and much more on the latest edition of Aurora Now.
