Salvatore first came to Canada from Racalmuto, Sicily when he was 23 years old. Sam did not speak a word of english and had only a few dollars to his name.  When the bakery was opened it was well received by local patrons, city councillors and local police officers that loved to come in for a sweet treat. It did not take long before Sam’s Queenston Bakery became a family name when it comes to celebrating birthdays, weddings, holidays and more. For many, Sam’s Queenston Bakery has become a family tradition.
