Petition addressed to: Bank of Montreal CEO
We, the undersigned residents, customers, and supporters of Verona, ask BMO to reconsider this closure and ensure that our community continues to have access to essential banking services.
We respectfully request that BMO:
- Pause the planned closure of the Verona branch.
- Conduct a full community impact assessment.
- Explore alternatives such as reduced hours or shared-service options rather than a full closure.
- Meet with Verona residents and business owners to discuss possible solutions.
Reason
The planned closure of the BMO branch in Verona, Ontario will remove the only in-person banking option for many residents. Seniors, local businesses, and residents without reliable transportation will be disproportionately affected:
- Nearest alternative branch is 40 km away
- Seniors and mobility-limited residents rely on in-person banking
- Local businesses need cash handling and deposits
- Loss of branch weakens the local economy
“This petition complements an in-person petition currently circulating in Verona.”
Thank you so much for your support, David Love, Godfrey
