Sam Sinjari's Plan for Lighthouse Cove

Lighthouse Cove is a small waterfront community at the mouth of the Thames River on Lake St. Clair, known for its canals and boating — and among the most exposed in Lakeshore to flooding and shoreline erosion. Sam Sinjari's plan puts flood resilience, drainage, and advocacy for shoreline residents first.

What defines Lighthouse Cove?

Lighthouse Cove sits where the Thames River meets Lake St. Clair, a low-lying, canal-lined boating community. Its beauty comes with real exposure to high water, storm surge, and erosion.

What issues matter most here?

Flooding and shoreline erosion, drainage and pumping capacity, navigation and dredging at the river mouth, and a municipality that treats a small community's risk as seriously as a large one's.

Sam's plan for Lighthouse Cove

Publish an annual Flood & Shoreline Progress Report, prioritize drainage fixes based on resident input and engineering, work with the Essex Region and Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authorities, and advocate for shoreline residents facing erosion and high water.

Respecting Lighthouse Cove

A small community facing a big risk deserves full-time attention — not to be an afterthought when the water rises.
