Sunshine List by Year
The Ontario Sunshine List has been published every year since 1996 — 30 disclosure years through 2025, covering 3,271,197 salary records at 5,654 public-sector employers.
The $100,000 disclosure threshold has not been adjusted for inflation since 1996: $100,000 in 1996 would be worth about $184,702 in 2025 dollars — a growing share of the workforce clears the bar every year without a real raise.
