Residents of the village of Pemberton, B.C., know their odds aren t good, but they are vowing to fight to keep the community s only bank.
More than a dozen people spent Wednesday camped outside the Scotiabank holding signs saying, Please Stay and Save our Bank.
The local branch of the Scotiabank, which has been there for over 60 years, is set to close July 15, 2021, according to announcements posted on the doors last week. Customers are being told to take their business to the Whistler branch.
