Questions and answers

Why is M Zak on the municipal remuneration list?

City of Vancouver paid M Zak $168,989 in 2023. British Columbia’s public employers must disclose everyone they paid $75,000 or more in a calendar year, under the Financial Information Act.

What is “remuneration”?

The one pay figure each city publishes for each person, its remuneration, shown as published. Victoria also lists taxable benefits and payouts, and expenses, in separate columns, which are not shown; Vancouver's remuneration includes payouts. How the lists work

What do the comparisons mean?

Ranks and shares are among people on the same year’s list only: those with the same title, those at the same employer, or everyone listed. People paid under $75,000 are not on the list, so they are not counted.

How do I report a mistake or ask for a record to be removed?

Privacy and corrections explains both. Figures are shown exactly as British Columbia published them; we fix matching mistakes and handle removal requests there.
