Can you post the source of this information. I don't know where to look for information about nonprofits in Canada.

WEG is much larger that the USTA. Salaries of top executives usually relate to size. The CEO of a $10 million nonprofit would be expected to be around $150,000.

While we are on this subject--does anyone know what Jim Mango's salary at Buffalo Raceway?   Can someone verify that Buffalo Raceway is owned by the Erie County Agricultural Society--a non-profit also?

Woodbine offers free programs in their site. I have always thought it was a great idea.
