Sam Sinjari is a Lakeshore resident, businessman, and philanthropist with 19 years of leadership in finance, operations, governance, and public service. His career in business and finance taught him how to read a budget, manage operations, and hold projects accountable from start to finish — exactly the discipline a growing municipality needs. Sam has served on boards and committees across the region, including Crime Stoppers of Windsor & Essex County, Hydrocephalus Canada, the College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Ontario, and the Rotary Club of Windsor. He is the founder and host of Empowering Kindness, a weekly community radio program on AM800. His philanthropy is hands-on: Thanksgiving meals for families in need, more than 700 pairs of work shoes donated to employment programs, board games for children's services, and socks for people experiencing homelessness. In 2024–25 he was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Ontario Medal for Good Citizenship, recognizing him as one of Ontario's exceptional civic leaders. Sam is running for Mayor to give Lakeshore something it hasn't had: a full-time leader who listens first, protects taxpayers, respects every community, and gets things done.
