“Salah is one of the most extraordinary people I have ever worked with. He has absolute clarity of vision, enormous drive, and the ability to marshal those around him to achieve the desired goal. He makes deep, lasting connections with people from all walks of life. I have never seen Salah fail at anything he has attempted - and some of his goals have been audacious. Put simply, he is an inspiration.”
Nancy Lockhart, Director, Choice Properties REIT; Director, George Weston Limited.
Former CEO, Frum Development Corp
“Salah co-owned Famous Players Media with Famous Players and Viacom. We were business partners for over 5 years. Salah is innovative and passionate and a great leader and motivator. Salah champions diversity and inclusion in everything he does. It has never been an afterthought. He gives his time and money to numerous causes and always made sure charity and volunteerism were key components of our culture. People want to work and be associated with him. Did I mention he knows everybody or can get a meeting with anyone as everyone knows that he is a person that gets things done. And best of all, he always over-delivered from the very first month we were in business together.”
John Bailey, Former President and CEO of Famous Players Theatres
“I worked with Salah for over a decade. He is the most effective and compassionate President and CEO I ever reported to. Salah is humble, driven, and passionate. He is always the hardest worker in the room. During my time as Editor of Famous Québec and Le magazine Cineplex, the most read entertainment magazines in la belle province, Salah was known to be a staunch champion of the Quebec film industry, including its filmmakers, actors, and other storytellers. Most will tell you he gave a voice to Quebec cinema. He also led the fight to ensure the covers of his publications celebrated the power and beauty of inclusion and diversity - well before this was a trend. Leaders who don’t listen will eventually be surrounded by people who have nothing to say. Not only does Salah listen, but he also elevates everyone around him. Like many, I cannot thank Salah enough for the important role that he has played in my life and career. He has been a great boss and leader to many, and an incredible mentor to me. I will carry for the rest of my life the lessons and advice Salah so generously shared with me.”
Mathieu Chantelois, Executive Vice President, Marketing and Public affairs Canada Media Fund
"I am in constant awe of you. You don’t hesitate to say what you believe to those in power, and to those who most need to hear the truth. You always do what is right even when it’s hard to do. We could all use a bit of your courage, a bit of your belief in ourselves and a lot more of your flair! Congrats on your book. The stories of your experiences are incredible. Your purpose is inspiring and meaningful to all who most need a voice. ”
Arlene Dickinson, Business Executive, Best-selling author and TV Dragon.
“I've never met anyone like Salah Bachir. He's generous in every way and encourages others to be generous as well. His beneficence is incredible and our patients at St. Joseph's receive better care thanks to him. Salah Bachir has improved care for so many people who use St. Joseph's Health Centre. He's single-handedly raised the funds needed to create a new dialysis Centre and transform a second one, in addition to supporting many other areas of care. His support can be felt in every corridor of our hospital.”
Maria Dyck, President and CEO, St. Joseph's Health Centre Foundation Toronto
“I have known Salah Bachir for over 35 years. He served on the board of the Canadian Film Centre and has been a supporter for years. He always gets done what he promised to do and much more. His passion for Canadian film and the arts is unparalleled. He has the biggest Lebanese heart of anyone we know.” -- 2022
Norman Jewison, Legendary Filmmaker
“A great volunteer fundraiser brings passion to his or her work—passion that is infectious and lifts up other people and inspires them to get involved. Mr. Bachir is an extraordinary volunteer, donor and fundraiser who has strived throughout his life to make incredible change in the world. We are honored to be able to recognize his lifetime of philanthropy and social impact with the International Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser Award (2017)
Jason Lee, President and CEO of International Association of Fundraising Professionals.
“I've known Salah for almost thirty years and over that time have worked on a wide variety of board committees and fundraising committees and always found Salah the most innovative and articulate leader in these discussions. He is very smart, very focused on the end objective and always inclusive and thoughtful in his advice and leadership. Salah would be my choice on any situation dealing with challenging issues. He is particularly a value-added because he always has an innovative and practical approach, undoubtedly stemming from his years as a successful entrepreneur.”
Andy Pringle, President, Principal – RPIA & Former Toronto Polices Services Board Chair
“When I met Salah Bachir, I was deeply impressed, like everyone else, by his wit, charm, style, intelligence, generosity, and graciousness as a host. As I have gotten to know Salah, I understand that the deep essence of all those bon vivant characteristics is a fierce intelligence focused on the compassionate understanding of people and providing the space for the expression of their authentic selves.”
Dr. Elizabeth Tunstall, Best-selling author, former Dean of Design at OCAD university and the first black Dean of design anywhere in the world.
“Besides being funny, irreverent, with a cascade of warm, colourful stories (in other words someone you want to work with) - Salah is swift to get to the issues, brilliant with the solutions and takes no prisoners in his manner of getting things done. We've worked on many projects together and are especially proud of how together (Scotiabank and Cineplex) we created and launched the Scene Loyalty Program. There are no half measures with Salah - if it's worth doing, then his MO is to crush it. And he's an excellent mentor.”
Rick White, Former Vice President Marketing, Scotiabank
