BMO Bank of Montreal, the official bank of the Calgary Stampede,
today opened the doors of its Toronto headquarters to visiting
Calgarians.
Since 1948, supporters from Calgary have paraded their horse
through a prominent landmark.
"BMO has always had a strong focus on supporting the communities
in which we work and play, so we were thrilled to be able to greet
visitors from Calgary and their horse Marty in Toronto and help
them continue this long-standing tradition and show of civic
pride," said Robert Hayes, Senior Vice President, Prairies
Division, BMO Bank of Montreal.
Mr. Hayes noted that BMO's connection to the city of Calgary is
rooted in supporting many of the city's marquee events, including
the Calgary Stampede which BMO has sponsored for over 100 years. In
addition, as the founding sponsor of Spruce Meadows, BMO Financial
Group has a long and proud history of supporting equestrian sport
in Canada.
"BMO is a part of many important, high-profile events in the
Calgary area that allow us to connect with our customers and the
citizens of Calgary in a meaningful way; being part of today's
tradition is another example of that," added Mr. Hayes.
