Queen’s Park has published it’s annual Public Sector Salary Disclosure, better known as “The Sunshine List” for 2020. Last year saw 19 Town of Grimsby employees making over $100,000, up from 13 employees in 2019.

2020 Sunshine List employees earned a total of $2.37 million last year, including taxable benefits, compared to $1.53 million in 2019. Some of the 2020 earners include former Town employees who may have been “packaged out” as part of a streamlining of operations.

The Town’s top bureaucrat and Council’s only employee, CAO Harry Schlange, pulled down $221,636.45 in his first full year (2020) in Grimsby. He additionally received $335,531.81 from Brampton in 2020, despite having “parted ways” in December 2018. If you aren’t keeping track that is $557,168.26 for 2020… not a bad haul!

All the details on the Town’s top earners and other public sector employees can be found in the full and searchable 2020 Provincial Sunshine List at the following link:
