Ontario releases 2021 Sunshine List. This is who got paid the most
Executives at Ontario Power Generation made up the top four highest-paid public employees in the province in 2021.
The province's annual "sunshine list" of public sector workers who are paid more than $100,000 a year was released Friday with more than 240,000 names.
For the second year in a row, Kenneth Hartwick, president and CEO of the electricity Crown corporation, was top of the list with a reported salary of $1,628,246.
Ontario Power Generation's Chief Strategy Officer Dominique Miniere was again the second-highest paid at $1,523,518, and two other executives at the corporation reported making more than a million dollars.
Kevin Smith, CEO of Toronto's University Health Network, stayed in the fifth spot again with a salary of $845,092.
Others in the health field were also among the top 10 highest paid, with Ontario Health CEO Matthew Anderson in seventh place with a salary of $826,000.
Dr. Penny Sutcliffe, medical officer of health for the Sudbury, Ont., area, had the ninth-highest salary at $800,726 and the CEO of Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Andy Smith, was in the 10th spot with $799,614.
The province says the list of employees grew by 38,536 since 2020, with 96 per cent of the growth attributable to growth in the broader public sector.
