A cre­ative and sus­tain­able com­mu­ni­ty where res­i­dents care and busi­ness­es thrive, Auro­ra is an afflu­ent town in South­ern Ontario. It is locat­ed in Cen­tral York Region and the Gold­en Horse­shoe and is about a 30-minute dri­ve north of down­town Toron­to.

History of Aurora

The exten­sion of Yonge Street to Hol­land Land­ing 1793 led to the estab­lish­ment of set­tle­ments and a com­mu­ni­ty that is today known as Auro­ra.

The pass­ing of the rail­way through Auro­ra in 1853 made the region a key hub, espe­cial­ly with its prox­im­i­ty to Toron­to. In 1863, Auro­ra only had 700 res­i­dents, but in the next 25 years, the pop­u­la­tion grew to 2,107 res­i­dents.

Notable peo­ple in the growth of the town include Lieu­tenant-Gov­er­nor John Graves Sim­coe, who com­mis­sioned the exten­sion of Yonge Street; Richard Machell, who was the first mer­chant at the cross­roads of Welling­ton and Yonge; and Charles Doan, anoth­er pio­neer busi­ness­man who lat­er became the first post­mas­ter and reeve.

Auro­ra has con­tin­ued to thrive based on its strong indus­tri­al and com­mer­cial roots. The town is rec­og­nized for pre­serv­ing its his­tor­i­cal struc­tures and was award­ed the 2008 Prince of Wales Prize for Munic­i­pal Her­itage Lead­er­ship. In 2009, Auro­ra was rec­og­nized for Com­mu­ni­ty Lead­er­ship in her­itage and pro­mo­tion, receiv­ing the Lieu­tenant Governor’s Ontario Her­itage Award.

Auro­ra has an esti­mat­ed pop­u­la­tion of over 56,000 peo­ple, about 13 per­cent of whom are immi­grants. The town most­ly attracts fam­i­lies and busi­ness­es look­ing to set­tle in a com­mu­ni­ty offer­ing a com­bi­na­tion of small town hos­pi­tal­i­ty with urban ameni­ties, which are evi­dent in its mod­ern-day facil­i­ties and her­itage sur­round­ings.

The com­mu­ni­ty has con­sis­tent­ly ranked among the top 25 places to live in Cana­da (out of 219 cities) accord­ing to Mon­ey­Sense Mag­a­zine. This is due to a com­bi­na­tion of fac­tors, includ­ing safe neigh­bour­hoods, supe­ri­or health­care facil­i­ties, cul­tur­al and sport­ing ameni­ties, pic­turesque trails and parks, world-class edu­ca­tion facil­i­ties, and eco­nom­ic oppor­tu­ni­ties. The town offers both pub­lic and pri­vate options for day­care, nurs­ery, ele­men­tary and sec­ondary edu­ca­tion facil­i­ties.

FAQ

  • Is having cameras essential for effective security?

    Tech­ni­cal­ly, cam­eras are not manda­to­ry; com­pre­hen­sive secu­ri­ty does­n’t sole­ly rely on them. Cam­eras, even when net­worked, are dis­tinct from 24/7 mon­i­tor­ing. How­ev­er, inte­grat­ing cam­eras enhances pro­tec­tion. A door­bell cam­era offers vis­i­bil­i­ty of vis­i­tors and fam­i­ly arrivals, while an inte­ri­or cam­era aids in pet mon­i­tor­ing.
