A year-over-year increase or decrease in disclosed pay can include overtime, a retroactive payment, a vacation payout or severance, not only a change in base pay, rate, or role — the Sunshine List discloses total salary paid that year, not a pay rate.

Method. Figures are salary paid, the same basis the year pages use for their movers sections. A mover is excluded from the raises above when their 2003 record was their first year at Royal Ontario Museum (a partial year, such as a September hire, that a full second year then dwarfs and misreads as an outsized raise), or when their 2004 record is their very last on the Sunshine List — a partial final year before leaving looks identical to a real change in pay until next year's data confirms it. This page does not list pay cuts: even the province-wide 2004 Sunshine List omits cuts for its own most recent year, since a partial final year before leaving looks identical to a real cut until next year’s data arrives — that same reasoning applies to every employer, in every year, so cuts are left off this page entirely rather than showing them in some years and not others. Counts under five people show “<5”. Data runs through 2025. The 2004 figures were published here on .
