Aurora strives to be a 'good neighbour', participating in community events and working with community members to understand our best opportunities for contribution and collaboration.

Our donations policy sets out guidelines that help us ensure our contributions are meaningful to local communities and that they support projects we can all be proud of. Education and training (especially in environmental areas), non-profit charities, community and cultural initiatives, youth-focused programs, and sports are amongst our highest priorities. Projects that are either based in or provide support to the North Coast communities of Labrador are of particular importance to us.
