About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably warm November morning when BMO Bank opened its doors as usual. But something strange caught the eye of a delivery driver making his rounds. The security guard’s chair was spinning slowly in circles, seemingly on its own. As he approached closer, the delivery driver noticed that the security guard had dozed off with a satisfied smile, drooling gently onto his nametag. Turns out, someone had accidentally left the office coffee pot on overnight, creating quite the caffeine-fueled dream.

2. It was a quiet Thursday afternoon when a regular customer noticed something odd coming from inside BMO Bank. The sound of soft laughter echoed through the empty lobby, growing louder with each passing minute. Curious, the man approached the source and found an old vending machine humming contentedly. It seemed that someone had accidentally left a bag of donuts in there, and the little heating element was keeping them warm—causing the mysterious laughter. A delivery driver eventually arrived to claim his sugary cargo, and everyone had a good laugh over it.

3. It was a typical Monday morning when a delivery driver arrived with a large crate marked ‘Top Secret’. As he approached the front door, several employees glanced curiously but went back to their desks, assuming it was just another routine delivery. As he opened the crate, everyone gathered around expecting something extraordinary. Instead, out popped an overexcited pigeon that had somehow gotten trapped inside. The whole office erupted in laughter as the poor bird frantically tried to escape, eventually flying out through the ceiling fan and into the neighboring branch’s lobby. Everyone agreed it was definitely not top secret—just a very confused pigeon on a mission.

4. It was a routine Tuesday afternoon when a voice crackled over BMO’s intercom: ‘Attention customers and staff—we’ve just received word that our ATM has been approved for international withdrawals.’ The entire branch erupted in excitement as everyone rushed to try the new feature. A regular asked his neighbor if he wanted to withdraw some Canadian dollars while visiting the U.S., and before anyone knew it, half the town had lined up outside. The poor delivery driver tried to make an emergency withdrawal but ended up with euros instead of cash, leaving him confused until someone explained that yes, indeed, the ATM now speaks multiple languages—and none of them were English.
