BMO Ingleside Branch Closure

On Monday, January 13, 2025, the Township was made aware of the Bank of Montreal's (BMO) intention to close the Ingleside BMO Branch on July 25, 2025 with the intention to service Ingleside clients at the BMO location in Morrisburg. 

The notice provided to the Township included information regarding an informal drop-in session with the Regional Vice President and Branch Manager to discuss the upcoming closure. This drop-in session is open to the public and will be held on Wednesday, February 12, 2025 from 9:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. 

The impact of this decision has raised significant concerns amongst residents, local businesses, and Township Officials. Your Township is committed to opposing this decision and advocate for the needs of our community. 

While your Council, municipal staff, local business leaders and concerned citizens work towards showing BMO Senior Management why they should reconsider this decision, we have prepared letter templates and BMO Management contact information for our community to join the fight to keep the only financial institution in South Stormont alive. 

We will continue to keep our community informed of the progress of this pursuit through this webpage and across our social media channels.
