Salah Bachir Biography

Salah Bachir is one of the most popular and richest Businessman who was born on October 3, 1955 in Canada.

Bachir was born in Lebanon and in 1965 his family immigrated to Canada when he was just 10 years old at the midst of the Lebanese Civil War and they resided in Rexdale, a district of Toronto. He was one of five siblings in the family. His mother ran a successful dress boutique out of the basement of their house. Salah played numerous sports when he was growing up, including hockey (he was a goalie), football (quarterback) and lacrosse. When he was 15-years-old, he picketed outside a Dominion store to support Caesar Chavez and the farm workers during the grape boycott. As people passed him during the day they offered up small donations to support the cause – Bachir’s first foray into the world of fundraising. He remembers that even though his father didn’t agree with his actions, he topped up the fund, giving $50 to bring the total for the day to $150. Bachir was excited and nervous to have the opportunity to hand the funds to Chavez himself, who was visiting Toronto, and somewhat reluctantly said they had only raised $150. He’s never forgotten what Chavez said to him: “It’s $150 more than we had this morning.”

Bachir began his career in publishing in 1979 with the launch of his elder brother’s company, Videomania, Canada’s first publication targeted to consumers of a new home entertainment format: the video cassette. In 1984, Bachir started a trade publication, Premiere, to serve the needs of the burgeoning video distribution and retail sectors. He also produced an annual trade show, Focus on Video, celebrating the Canadian film industry.
