The Sunshine List is returning with some new additions in Muskoka for 2017.
The report offers a look at all Ontario Public Sector salaries that are $100,000 a year or higher. This includes municipal employees that work in towns and at the district office in Muskoka.
The District of Muskoka has seen the highest jump in sunshine list earners with nine new employees bumping above the $100,000 mark compared to the 22 from last year. This is mostly due to the district taking over paramedic services in 2017, which used to be contracted out. Eight of the additions to the list are paramedics. CAO Michael Duben tops the list as the highest earner in the district at over $204,000.
Bracebridge and Gravenhurst didn’t have any new additions to the sunshine list. In Bracebridge CAO John Sisson remains top earner at over $147,000. In Gravenhurst, Treasurer Val Sequeira topped the list at over $130,000. Huntsville ended up losing a few top earners. In 2016 there were nine, but that dropped to six in 2017. At the top of the list for the town is CAO Denise Corry at over $151,000.
At Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare, CEO Natalie Bubela is topping the list as she earned over $241,000 in 2017. Trillium Lakelands District School Board Director of Education Larry Hope had the biggest jump in salary from $200,000 in 2016 to over $300,000 last year. Simcoe Muskoka District School Board Superintendent of Education Jane Dillon-Leitch took a pay cut from $241,000 in 2016 to just over $176,000 last year.
