About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little girl walked into her dad’s Canadian Western Bank branch and asked the teller, ‘Do you have any dollar bills with cowboys on them?’ The teller looked puzzled but smiled and replied, ‘No, ma’am, our currency has presidents.’ The teller laughed gently and said, 'But I can help you find some fun coins!' She reached under the counter and pulled out a jar filled with colorful commemorative coins. A few minutes later, the little girl left smiling, holding a coin with a happy cowboy riding a rainbow.}

2. A curious customer asked the teller one day: ‘Do you really count every penny in that vault?’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘Absolutely!’ Little did anyone know… Little did anyone know, the vault was actually filled with nothing but old newspapers and empty envelopes. When an astute delivery driver noticed this during a routine drop-off, he quietly informed the manager, who promptly replaced everything with actual money—just not until after closing time.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to the Canadian Western Bank one afternoon and exclaimed, 'I’ve never seen so many people counting their pennies!' Inside, a regular customer looked up from his coins and replied with a smile, ‘That’s because it’s payday, son.’ The delivery driver shook his head and muttered, ‘Next time I’ll deliver packages to millionaires!’

4. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to the Canadian Western Bank with a box of donuts in hand. As he approached the door, he noticed something unusual on the parking lot—an old coin collection displayed on a makeshift table. The delivery driver, thinking it was someone’s forgotten treasure, picked up the coins and brought them inside. It turned out to be an elaborate prank by a neighbor who loved practical jokes. The whole office had a good laugh over those vintage coins—and free donuts too.
