Father's Day Special Guest Speaker Tim Schindel

After almost 25 years of pastoral/community leadership, Tim Schindel founded Leading Influence in 2006 to fulfill the vision of providing excellence in pastoral care to politicians across Canada. Under his leadership, Leading Influence has grown to a National ministry with a team of chaplains that stretches from Victoria, BC, to Quebec City. Tim is the National Director for Leading Influence and serves as a Chaplain on Parliament Hill.

While his primary career focus has been faith-based ministry, he has extensive experience as a community leader, life/leadership coach, and business owner. In the summer of 2020, ‘just for fun,’ he envisioned and led ‘The Big Spend’ campaign to support locally owned businesses seeking recovery after the initial COVID lockdown. The project generated nearly $90 Million in economic activity across Canada and attracted national news attention.

Tim loves to cycle and enjoys ‘road therapy’ on his Harley Davidson. Tim and Barb just celebrated their 35th anniversary, and they are proud parents to Brittany, Zack (Krysten) and Tyler. Tim and Barb call Victoria, BC, home.
