LGBTQ AWARENESS WEEK AT HUMBER Sunshine List continues to sow division after 18 years

Jeremy Appel QUEENS PARK/CITY HALL REPORTER

Good gravy, Mr.Whitaker. Ontario’s 2014 Public Sala- ry Disclosure, also known as the Sunshine List, of provin- cial public servants with annual incomes over $100,000 was released last week and topping Humber’s list is college President and CEO Chris Whitaker. He earned $425,282 with an additional $23,092 in tax- able benefits last year. That’s a paltry sum com- pared with the $1.55 million made by the overall list’s top earner, Ontario Power Gen- erator CEO Tom Mitchell. The average Ontarian makes less than $75,000 a year, according to the most recent data from Statistics Canada. Mike Gamble, an instructor for Humber’s Police Founda- tions program, is one of about 280 Humber employees who LUCY SKY appear on the list. Humber College, whose newly implemented Gender Diversity Policy is a postsecondary leader, held a North campus workshop Thursday about trans He says the threshold ought community members and their struggles. At workshop’s end, organizers unveiled new posters that will be put up in washrooms around campus. to be raised to $140,000 to keep pace with inflation since the list’s inception in 1996. “While I believe in public COMMENTARY accountability, the threshold for the Sunshine List has Gender diversity sweet not changed in 18 years,” he Dolce and Gabbana’s wrote in an e-mail. ‘Genderbread’ cy that Humber released in gerbread cookie is a popular “Meanwhile, the average February. infographic in the transgen- cost of a house in Toronto has cookies highlight “The policy is in place der community that rep- internal homophobia almost tripled and the cost of awareness event but there’s still a lot of peo- resents the facets of gender living has grown roughly 40 ple who don’t know a lot of identity.
