SunshineList republishes Ontario’s “Sunshine List” — the annual disclosure, mandated by the Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act, 1996, of every public sector employee paid $100,000 or more in a calendar year — as a searchable, comparable site: 3.3M salary records spanning 1996–2025, across 5,654 employers. See Methodology for how the data is sourced, processed and resolved.

Sector Salary Disclosure Act, 1996 — https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/96p01a.
Data: 1996–2025.

Every employer’s page for a given year links to a plain CSV of that employer-year’s records (name, position, salary paid, taxable benefits, total compensation): /employer/<employer-slug>/<year>/data.csv.

Example: /employer/ontario-power-generation/2025/data.csv

Need a larger cut — a full year, a sector, or a custom slice — than what the per-employer files cover? See Contact; custom cuts are handled case by case, capped at 5 requests per month to protect the live site (a single shared server behind the whole site).

The 2025 Sunshine List includes 404,922 salary records, each reported at or above the $100,000 statutory disclosure threshold set by the Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act, 1996.

The Government of Ontario has historically published the Sunshine List in late March; see Methodology for the full update-cadence and provenance details. Reporters covering municipal or agency budgets are welcome to get in touch ahead of the next release — see Contact below.

SunshineList is published anonymously. For interview requests, a data question, or a custom data cut, email press@sunshinelist.fyi or see Contact.
