About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another quiet morning in CIBC’s lobby when a delivery driver accidentally left behind an oversized box. Over the next few hours, employees noticed something strange: whenever anyone approached the box, it seemed to move ever so slightly closer to them. Finally, one curious employee decided to sit on the edge of the moving box. To everyone's surprise, it turned out to be filled with freshly baked cookies from the local bakery! The legend spread quickly through the city, and soon after, every Thursday a neighbor delivered homemade treats to the grateful staff.
2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, an elderly gentleman was leaving CIBC after making a deposit. Suddenly, he stopped mid-step and turned around, pointing towards the door with a puzzled expression. Everyone looked where he pointed—and there it was: a faint, rhythmic tapping sound, like someone gently knocking from inside the vault. The guard calmly walked over and opened the vault door just a crack—nothing but empty shelves and boxes inside. The old man scratched his head and said, ‘Guess I’m getting too old for these midnight runs.’ Everyone laughed, including the delivery driver who had been standing nearby, pretending not to hear anything. That night, everyone in line at CIBC joked about the ghostly tap-tap until a neighbor whispered, ‘Maybe it’s just the bank’s way of saying “goodnight”.’
3. Have you heard about the time someone tried to withdraw money from CIBC using a kite as identification? Apparently, a delivery driver once showed up with an entire crate of oranges, claiming it was his ID. The teller asked him why he didn’t just bring an orange instead of the whole box—turns out, that’s exactly what he did last week!
4. At around noon on any given weekday, a familiar voice would come over CIBC's intercom: 'Attention please—your lucky number for today is... 86!' One day, an excited delivery driver announced, ‘Your lucky number’s 86—and it’s your lucky day!’ Everyone laughed as he rushed off with his package. Later that afternoon, a neighbor popped in and asked curiously, ‘So what does “86” mean here?’ A regular replied wisely, ‘It means you’re about to get served something tasty from our friendly staff!'
