Aurora Economic Development Corporation Board

In partnership with MetaWorldX, the Town of Aurora is pleased to offer a new, unique online tool, a virtual digital twin of the town. Being able to visualize data in real time will help residents, businesses and leaders make decisions.

Launch Aurora's Digital Twin

With a diversified economic base of over 2,200 businesses, Aurora continues to attract major companies including Magna International, Desjardins, Bulk Barn, Kirchhoff Automotive, Genpak LP, Flow Water, and others.  Aurora’s companies are also cornerstones of York Region/ Greater Toronto Area’s flourishing Information Technology; Financial, Insurance & Accounting Services (FinTech); Food Processing; Health and Life Sciences (MedTech); and Advanced Manufacturing clusters.

The Town of Aurora, in partnership with the Aurora Chamber of Commerce, is excited to present Explore Aurora, a dynamic digital hub designed to celebrate our community, support local businesses, and inspire tourism.

By connecting residents and visitors with real-time updates, local events, and exclusive special offers from Aurora’s unique businesses, Explore Aurora plays a key role in driving the Town’s economic goals. Supporting local businesses not only strengthens our community but also helps sustain jobs, boost tourism, and foster long-term economic growth.

The recently opened Aurora Town Square is the largest capital infrastructure project the Town has ever embarked on and will serve as a catalyst for downtown revitalization. It is the culmination of years of planning that demonstrates strategic municipal investment in the downtown, which will leverage further investment, foster employment opportunities, and support downtown resilience.
