Notes on this record
- North Bay publishes no numbered top-employer list; the City's Community Profile names Nipissing University and Canadore College 'among North Bay's largest employers' and gives 22 Wing's ~535 personnel. Invest North Bay's 2025 mining profile: the mining supply & services sector 'employs over 2,500 people locally'; 'over 60' such businesses with 'a growing list of multinational headquarters'. Its supplier directory is emailed only after a form, so it was not used.
- No venture-funded software/tech company headquartered in North Bay could be confirmed; Invest North Bay cites only a FedNor-assisted local shopping app (government contribution, not venture funding).
- Blocked or skipped: nipissingu.ca (robots.txt 403, treated as disallowed) and canadorecollege.ca (robots 'Disallow: /') — rows kept from the City profile, no careersUrl; millertechnology.com (Miller Technology, underground mining vehicles; robots 403; no row); dnssab.ca/careers timed out.
- Epiroc, Dynamic Earth and other press-reported North Bay mining suppliers were not added because their own sites were not checked for a North Bay head office in this pass.
