Toronto city councillors have approved a recommendation to raise their own salaries by 24 percent.

Councillors voted 15 to 8 in favour of the increase that would see each member’s 2025 pay go up from the current $137,537 to $170,588, which includes base salary as well as bonuses, travel and car expenses, board and committee fees paid by the city, and other forms of financial remuneration.
