Financial Information

As the funding received from the Government of Ontario in 2022 ($322,863.38) did not exceed $1,000,000 and is less than 10 per cent of the Authority’s gross revenues for the year, the Authority is not considered a public body employer for the purposes of the Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act, 1996, in 2022.
