Sam Sinjari
Sam is a passionate community leader, a dynamic motivational speaker and a positive influence in the Windsor-Essex community. An advocate for personal growth and professional development, Sam is a natural motivator–always encouraging others to reach their full potential.
Loyal to his community, Sam puts people first. He created Empowering Kindness, a show he hosts on AM 800 CKLW focused on social impact with the hope to inspire and motivate others to spread kindness and positivity. During the weekly one-hour show, local community champions join Sam to chat about current needs, success stories and how they’re moving the needle to make the community better for all. His commitment to social issues is also demonstrated through his involvement on the board of directors for No Time for That (Anti-Bullying Society).
Sam is highly active in his philanthropic efforts; instrumental in planting trees at Gignac Park and providing thousands of turkeys for families through the Unemployed Help Centre and Downtown Mission. He has provided dozens of meals and supported events for The Salvation Army, Hand and Hand Support and many other charitable organizations. A true family man, Sam has provided board games for children at both the Children’s Aid Society and Big Brothers Big Sisters.
Because of these efforts, Sam was named a Community Champion by the Odette School of Business at the University of Windsor. He has funded successful radio campaigns for many local nonprofit organizations to encourage social consciousness in the community.
Sam's advocacy work includes pushing for more affordable housing programs, raising awareness about food insecurity and advocating for turning Ojibway into a National Urban Park. With a passion for serving others and making a lasting and meaningful difference, Sam exemplifies true dedication and commitment to those in the Windsor-Essex community.
