(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO and CHICAGO, ILLINOIS -- (Marketwired) -- 06/08/16 -- Editor''s Note: There are three photos associated with this press release.
This week, thousands of BMO employees are volunteering in hundreds of local charities and organizations across Canada and the U.S. as part of BMO Volunteer Day. This is when, every year, BMO employees share their time, energy and ideas with organizations and individuals who need support.
BMO provides nearly 5,000 opportunities for BMO employees to participate in charitable work and projects during business hours, including those that support disaster relief, homeless shelters, children and youth organizations, elder care, community housing and health care facilities, family resource centres, parks and recreational facilities, food banks, and the Red Cross.
Launched in 2001, BMO Volunteer Day is one of the many ways BMO employees lend a hand and express their commitment to improving the social well-being of individuals in the communities where they live and work.
"One day can make a tremendous difference in the lives of people in the communities we serve," said Joanna Rotenberg, Head, Personal Wealth Management, BMO Financial Group. "Volunteering is a deeply embedded part of our culture. It represents the very best of our company, and demonstrates how we genuinely care and are here to help."
Ms. Rotenberg spent Volunteer Day with First Book Canada, joining fellow BMO employees as they read to Grade 1 and 2 students at an elementary school in the Greater Toronto Area.
