I have lived in Aurora since 1980 and as a long time resident, I have watched with great interest Lauren’s deep commitment to community and her quest to make Aurora a better place for all.


I wholeheartedly support Lauren Hanna’s bid to represent Ward 1 and wish her every success with Porchlight Arts, a new initiative which she is leading and set to begin on September 26th.


Best of luck, Lauren! You have my vote.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Lauren several times delivering presentations in the community and sharing information about events/town programs. I’ve seen her love for Aurora first hand, and know that she will be a valuable resource. I am confident she will work hard for the wonderful members of our community.

I’ve come to appreciate Lauren through working together on the Aurora Library Board which she currently Chairs.

Lauren makes good decisions, is capable, hardworking, caring, and listens well. Exactly the attributes we need on Council.

Long term (48 years) Aurora resident & volunteer.

Lauren is a devoted mother, a loyal friend, and a passionate advocate. What sets her apart is her willingness to speak up and take action. She truly cares, and she will always put the people of Aurora first.

Lauren and I met when she kindly spoke at the International Day of Peace event. She gave a thoughtful talk on how peace can begin at the individual level and extend into the wider community, sharing examples of how she puts this into practice. Since then, I’ve seen Lauren in action, and her commitment goes far beyond words. She is truly grounded in the community, going the extra mile to build genuine connection. She has a unique ability to bridge gaps in our community. I strongly believe Lauren will make an amazing Councillor. She is a modern problem solver who understands what our community needs.

Lauren has been a pillar for our community for many years. Bringing together and supporting local businesses, hosting inclusive community events and rounding up activities around town through her newsletter and social channels show her unwavering commitment to fostering a welcoming place where we all belong. Our engagement within Aurora extends beyond any one ward and I enthusiastically support Lauren in Ward 1. Lauren is compassionate, attentive and has a collaboratie spirit. Consider your vote for Lauren!

Working with Lauren on Awaken Aurora events has been a great experience. She’s incredibly connected within the community, but what really stands out is how genuine and authentic she is in everything she does. You can tell how committed and invested she is in the people, the community, and the future of Aurora.

Lauren is one of the most thoughtful and community-driven people I’ve had the privilege to work with, especially through our time building Awaken Aurora events together. She has a natural ability to bring people together in a way that feels inclusive, intentional and genuinely supportive, while also creating platforms that shine a light on everything happening in our community.

I’m voting for Lauren Hanna because she’s deeply connected to the Aurora community and genuinely invested in bringing people together. Her focus on local events, neighbourhood issues and supporting families shows she understands what matters most to residents. I trust her community-driven approach and proven involvement to represent our town with both heart and real engagement.

Lauren Hanna is a loving mother and a caring, clear thinking professional. Her knowledge of and commitment to her community and Aurora are abundantly clear. Her extensive experience working for the Ontario government will serve her well as a town councillor.

I’ve known Lauren since we worked together at the Ontario Legislature over 15 years ago. She is smart, dependable, compassionate, competent, thoughtful, sociable, cooperative, dedicated and principled. Lauren is going into politics for the right reasons — to serve her community and improve people’s lives. We need more people like her running for office and representing us at every level of government.

As a local business and residents of Aurora, a community leader who genuinely cares to make a difference and use their voice for positive change is so important to us and Lauren Hanna is that. We have all the faith that she will accomplish that, and more.

Lauren Hanna has a natural ability to bring people together, consistently using her platform to highlight and celebrate the many layers of our community, from grassroots events to larger initiatives. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Lauren on a new project called Porchlights Arts, which is an art and culture event dedicated to build community connections through the arts. I’ve witnessed Lauren’s thoughtful leadership and sincere belief that small gestures amount to a building a positive and connected community, which I believe makes her a strong and authentic voice for Town Councillor.

I had the privilege of working closely with Lauren on a community initiative to revitalize our local park, and can say with complete confidence she embodies the very qualities one hopes to see in a member of town council. Throughout the project, Lauren demonstrated exceptional leadership, not through force, but through her ability to truly listen. She approached every conversation with openness and respect, ensuring that all voices—regardless of perspective—were heard and considered. In moments where opinions differed, she brought a calm, thoughtful presence that helped bridge divides and guide us toward solutions that felt fair and balanced for everyone involved. What sets Lauren apart is her genuine commitment to community. She doesn’t simply advocate for outcomes—she fosters connection, builds trust, and creates an environment where people feel valued and included. Her integrity, diplomacy, and unwavering dedication to doing what is right make her uniquely qualified to represent our community. I can think of no one better suited to serve on town council. Lauren leads with both heart and principle, and our community would be stronger for it.

I’m proud to support you because you lead with integrity, listen to people, and actually follow through on what you say. You care deeply about this community and have the judgment and work ethic to make thoughtful, practical decisions. I have no doubt you’ll be a strong, approachable councillor who gets things done.

I’ve known Lauren since we were both interns at Queen’s Park – and it was already evident then – through her commitment to community, her thoughtfulness, and dependability – that she is exactly the type of person we should be electing into public office. In it for the right reasons and with the right approach, I look forward to supporting her this election.

As a long time resident of Aurora, I wholeheartedly support Lauren Hanna for Ward 1 Councillor.

Her deep commitment to our community, combined with a clear vision for growth and inclusivity sets her apart.

I am confident that Lauren will bring both integrity and fresh ideas to the table.

Lauren consistently shows up for local businesses and families and is deeply engaged in our community. As a local business owner, I’ve valued her ongoing support and I trust her to represent our community well on council.

I’ve known Lauren long enough to know what kind of councillor she’ll be, because she’s already acting like one. The weekly activity roundups, the Did You Know posts, the Hometown Highlights, none of that is campaign theatre. It’s how she’s been engaging with Ward 1 because she genuinely believes residents want to be engaged and deserve to understand how decisions get made and why.


Aurora deserves a council that reflects the people who live here. Ward 1 deserves Lauren.
