Last year, Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer of Health received the largest cash bonus paid to a civil servant in the province since 2016.

Dr. Deena Hinshaw’s salary in 2021 was $363,634, but she also received an additional cash bonus of $227,911—a record amount since 2016, when the Alberta government started publishing the salaries of its highest-paid public sector employees in what is known as the “sunshine list.” She also received $5,239 in non-cash benefits.
