British Columbia’s 2025 compensation disclosure: every disclosed public-sector compensation for the year, with top earners, sectors, and employers.
In 2025, 164,080 employees at 128 British Columbia public-sector employers were disclosed on the province’s compensation disclosure (FY 2024-25, the fiscal year ending in 2025). The average disclosed compensation was $115,840 and the median was $106,424 — the disclosure covers only employees above the $75,000 threshold in force that year, not the entire public-sector workforce.
The 2024 list named 20,990 people and the 2025 list 164,080, but the two are not comparable: 2025 draws on source disclosures that have not been collected here for 2024, so the difference is one of coverage rather than of hiring. The average disclosed compensation moves for the same reason and is not a pay trend.
The highest-paid person on the 2025 list was RM Campbell at Powerex, at $1,584,119. The full top 25 is below; for interactive filtering of all 164,080 records, use the data explorer or see the British Columbia dashboard for the latest year.
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.
