Notes on this record

  • Magna's head office in Aurora is confirmed from its SEC EDGAR filer record, because magna.com's company and contact pages give no city in their text.
  • No published local headcounts were found. The Town of Aurora pages give no employer list, and YorkLink marks employers only as having more than 300 staff.
  • Not added: The Stronach Group (stronachgroup.com now redirects to 1st.com, and no Aurora office is stated there), Eco Guardian (robots.txt timed out). The York Region school boards and police have their head offices in Aurora; York Region government is in Newmarket.
  • No venture-funded software company headquartered in Aurora was found.
