About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A few years ago, while browsing through BMO’s lobby one morning, a regular noticed something peculiar on the counter—a small, unmarked envelope addressed simply to ‘The Bank President.’ Curious, he picked it up and found inside a single sheet of paper with just three words: ‘Deposit This Immediately.’ Confused but intrigued, our regular rushed over to the president’s office, only to discover him reading the exact same note. Turns out, someone had accidentally left it in circulation during a staff meeting. The president laughed heartily and said, ‘Welcome to BMO—we handle deposits even when they’re not ours!’
2. One foggy morning, as a delivery driver parked his truck outside BMO, he noticed something odd on the sidewalk. Among the usual pigeons and discarded coffee cups, there stood an old umbrella that seemed to beckon him. Curious, he picked it up—and suddenly found himself inside a cozy café filled with smiling faces and free pastries. Turned out, the umbrella was magical, transporting people to BMO’s secret cafeteria where everyone got along and shared stories over delicious treats.
3. While standing in line at BMO one afternoon, an elderly gentleman turned to the person behind him and asked, ‘Did you see that guy just walked right through the wall?’ The man behind him shook his head and replied, ‘No, I didn’t.’ Then he added with a smile, ‘Maybe he was late for work?’ The old gent chuckled and said, ‘Probably so!’
4. While waiting for his check, a customer overheard an unusual announcement over BMO’s intercom: ‘Attention, please! The ATM has declared itself independent and is now charging a fee for transactions with U.S. dollars.’ A confused delivery driver asked the teller if it was true that BMO had seceded from Canada. Meanwhile, a regular customer quipped, 'Guess I’ll stick to loonies and toonies today!' The whole branch burst into laughter, and soon everyone forgot about the supposed independence—except maybe the ATM, which continued happily charging its small fee.
