Healthcare
Paramedics, emergency medical technicians, and advanced care paramedics in public emergency services.
These are total earnings actually disclosed — including overtime, shift premiums and retroactive pay, not base salary. Each province only publishes public-sector staff earning above a set threshold (Ontario $100,000, BC $75,000, Manitoba $85,000, Alberta ~$155,176), so anyone paid less is excluded and the averages skew high — most of all for roles whose standard pay sits near that threshold.
What the collective-agreement wage grid actually pays, before overtime — the disclosed averages above are not base salary.

Looking for a specific person or employer?
Front-line Primary Care Paramedic (entry step to top step) at a representative employer per province; base rate only, excludes overtime and premiums. Standard work-years differ (BC ~1,950h vs ON/MB ~2,184h), so annual figures are not directly comparable. Advanced Care Paramedics earn materially more everywhere.
