The Sault $100,000 Hotties List for 2011

Each year at this time, the Province of Ontario releases public sector salaries for the previous year.

It's commonly referred to The Sunshine List.

We at SooToday.com prefer to call it The $100,000 Hotties List.

Under the Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act, organizations that receive provincial funding are required to disclose the names of those paid $100,000 or more per year.

It's a pretty extensive list.
