The provincial government made the annual Ontario Sunshine List avai- lable to the public on March 27. The Sunshine List began in 1996 with approval of the Public Sector Salary Dis- closure Act (PSSD) by the Mike Harris Progressive Conservative government. The goal of the PSSD was to provide “public disclosure of the salary and benefits paid in respect of employment in the public sector to employees who are paid a salary of $100,000 or more in a year.” The annual list covers all public sector workers for municipalities, county govern- ments, school districts, hospital and other health facilities, regional health units, and other agencies and organizations that receive public funding from the province. The PSSD requires that all of these groups “disclose annually the names, positions, salaries, and total taxable beneifts of employees paid $100,000 or more in a calendar year.” The online version of the list at onta- riosunshinelist.com was created in 2013. Alberta and Nova Scotia have their versions of Sunshine Lists. Criticisms of the Sunshine List are that it is not indexed to inflation and does not include information about cost-of-living raises to salaries required in employee contracts, does not provide details of how long a person has held their position or worked for the municipality, school district, or other agency that is covered by the PSSD, does not provide information about promotions or other changes in a person’s employment history that contributed to increases in their annual salary, amount of time involved in work for their occupation or any background on formal and supple- mental training they received to qualify for their position and salary. Critics also note that Sunshine lists get longer each year as more public sector reach the $100,000 benchmark for inclusion on the list because of promotions, mandated salary raises, and other factors. The 2025 has 252 in total entries for the municipal public sector in the United Coun- ties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR). Hawkes- bury has 20 entries, East Hawkesbury Township two entries, Champlain Township eight entries, Alfred-Plantagenet Township nine entries, the City of Clarence-Rockland 16 entries, Casselman eight entries, The Nation Municipality 17 entries, Russell Township 26 entries, the United Counties of Prescott and Russell, 146 entries. The United Counties of Stormont-Dundas-Glen- garry had 36 entries. Hawkesbury Patrick Mayer, firefighter, $204,888.99 salary. Samuel Cardarelli, chief administrator, $174,053.08 salary.
