British Columbia’s 2025 compensation disclosure: every disclosed public-sector compensation for the year, with top earners, sectors, and employers.
In 2025, 71,875 employees at 90 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 $108,663 and the median was $102,531 — the disclosure covers only employees above the $75,000 threshold in force that year, not the entire public-sector workforce.
Compared with 2024, the list grew by 50,885 names (+242%, from 20,990 to 71,875), and the average disclosed compensation rose 1.1% from $107,520.
The highest-paid person on the 2025 list was Thomas Bechard (Pres & CEO Powerex) at BC Hydro, at $1,633,445. The full top 25 is below; for interactive filtering of all 71,875 records, use the data explorer or see the British Columbia dashboard for the latest year.
FY 2025 figures include school district SOFI data (~21K employees over $75K) that wasn't ingested for prior fiscal years; the headcount increase is partly a coverage change, not a workforce change. FY 2010 is missing from the source data.
