RVH CEO tops Simcoe County's century club

The highest paid public sector employee in Simcoe County in 2007 was Janice Skot, CEO of Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie, at $275,000 and she was joined by 19 others at RVH in the $100,000 plus club.

It is an ever expanding club because the legislation on the disclosure of salaries does not adjust for inflation.

The Simcoe-Muskoka Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Charles Gardner, at $197,000, led eight staffers at the Health Unit in the club.

Brian Tamblyn, CEO of Georgian College, topped the list there at $178,000.

Municipally, lists were a lot shorter. Mark Aitken, CEO of Simcoe County, topped a list of 22 at $190,000.

In New Tecumseth, CAO Terri Caron earned $153,000 including taxable benefits and deputy CAO Brendan Holly came in at $128,000, including taxable benefits, were the only ones on the list.

In Bradford West Gwillimbury, CAO James Currier led a list of just five at $170,000.
