There is an amazing salary/wage spread between people who work for Parks and Recreation, with many supervisors on the sunshine list while many more part-time staff who run programs are stuck at $14 an hour. And while the salaries go up for the management staff, the services don't increase for the citizens. So for example the recreation supervisor in Ward 19 made $108,000 last year, but she also keeps Christie and Trinity rink buildings locked on holidays like New Year's Day. It appears that this is how it works: if a supervisor saves $20 an hour by not paying a building attendant time-and-a-half on a holiday, the skaters have no washroom or warm-up access, but the supervisor may get a bonus which translates into a raise.
- Of interest: how do non-union bonuses work for City of Toronto staff?
