Maple Leaf Parade Marshal – SAMANTHA STRONG

Earlier this week, Oktoberfest announced that our very own Samantha Strong would be this year’s Maple Leaf Parade Marshal! There could NOT be a better choice. When she started at Z93 in 1986, the first event she was involved with was the Maple Leaf Parade. She’s had a part in almost every one since, so the honor is fitting. Sam has to be the warmest person you could ever meet. Having a bad day? Go to talk with Sam for a few minutes and it all washes all away. Sam – Congratulations and THANK YOU! Thank you for your friendship, your positivity, your infectious vibe and most of all… thank you for hiring me. 🙂
