Public sector organizations reveal top salaries

The top dogs at some public sector organizations are making pretty big bucks.

Universities, health authorities and Crown corporations in Nova Scotia are now required to report all salaries over $100,000 under a new law.

The list shows university presidents across the province all making more than $200,000. Sean Riley of St. Francis Xavier brings in $291,000, just above Colin Dodds at Saint Mary’s University.

Dalhousie University has not disclosed Tom Traves’ salary, but in January it was reported that he makes $393,000 annually.

Other top earners include the CEO of Capital Health, Chris Power, at $327,000; NSLC president Bret Mitchell, who brings in $266,000; and UARB chair Peter Gurnham, with $182,000.

Premier Darrell Dexter makes the list at $198,000.

The complete list of organizations that must disclose six-figure salaries is on the Department of Finance website.
