Supporting the troops who support our community

Whether it’s providing support to vulnerable communities, delivering supplies or reacting to the many needs across the country – our troops play a critical, life saving role in times of crisis. As the world continues to battle the spread of COVID-19, the Canadian military has mobilized 24,000 troops to be ready to assist civil authorities.

BMO made it clear, in a social media post from BMO CEO Darryl White, that if Canadian reservists who work for the bank are called to help fight COVID-19, it will be with BMO’s full support – including extension of their benefits package, a paid leave allocation and pre-approved leave of absence. They can serve knowing that they are backed up by their co-workers and teams.
