Open data preserved

Built on the province's published CSVs, which remain the source of record.

How it's built. Entirely static — no database and no server to maintain. The disclosure is pre-compiled into compressed files the browser loads on demand, so search stays fast across millions of records. It can be hosted on any standard static host (Cloudflare Pages, Azure, S3) at low cost, and the source open-data CSVs remain the system of record. Updating for a new year is a single re-run of the build script.
Method & provenance

Public data, faithfully compiled.

Source

Ontario Treasury Board Secretariat's Public Sector Salary Disclosure, published annually under the PSSD Act, 1996. All 30 annual releases, 1996 through 2025, compiled unaltered from the province's open-data files.

Scale

3,271,504 disclosure records reconciled into 886,860 distinct people (matched on name and employer). Salaries and taxable benefits are shown exactly as disclosed.

Caveats

People are matched by name-and-employer; common names at one employer may merge, and an employer's renaming can split a record. This site is independent and not official.

Figures are compiled from the source files as released; the original CSVs remain the authoritative record. Data current to the 2025 disclosure.
