Nor is horse racing’s wage information searchable via the treasury board’s online Sunshine List tool. “As a provincial crown agency, OLG is required to post the salaries of transfer payment recipients under the Horse Racing Partnership Funding Program … on behalf of government,” Kenez wrote in an email. Horse racing’s initial salary disclosures were posted by the Ontario Racing Commission (now dissolved) and since 2016, have been posted by OLG. WEG is an Ontario corporation without share capital, which means “after paying expenses, monies are invested back into horse racing to help sustain the industry in Ontario,” said Dykstra. Valiquette is the only Fort Erie worker on horse racing’s public sector salary disclosure list.
