“Greater Vancouver-s economy is cooling somewhat, but continues to outperform the rest of B.C.,” said Robert Kavcic, Economist, BMO Capital Markets. “Population growth, while slowing, is still well above the national and provincial averages, amid strong international immigration.

“At BMO, we are committed to providing every one of our customers with the best banking experience,” said Sheila Kerr, Branch Manager, BMO Bank of Montreal. “We encourage new and existing members of the community to come in and speak with our team about all of their financial needs. BMO recently launched the new BMO AIR MILES bank plan, which allows customers to significantly enhance the value they are getting from their debit card by accelerating the rate of earning reward miles – so they can ultimately spend smarter.”
