Note: FY 2025 is the only year for which the Statement of Financial Information filings have been ingested, so its headcount is not comparable with earlier years: health authorities, school districts, crown corporations, universities and colleges all go from a handful of disclosed executives to their full over-$75,000 staff. Core government, the one sector covered the same way in both years, grew about 11%. FY 2017 is a smaller break of the same kind (the executive disclosures begin). FY 2010 is missing from the source data.
About the 2025 British Columbia Sunshine List
The 2025 British Columbia compensation disclosure names 163,678 public-sector employees who earned $75,000 or more, across 128 employers in 7 sectors. The average disclosed compensation was $115,834 and the median was $106,418. The 2024 list named 20,990 people, but the two years are not comparable: 2024 covers fewer of the source disclosures than 2025 does, so the difference reflects how much has been published and collected rather than a change in the workforce.
The highest-paid name on the 2025 list is RM Campbell at Powerex, at $1,584,119. Every name, employer, and compensation on this page links to a full profile with year-by-year history — or search all 163,678 records in the data explorer.
