In addition, attendees had the chance to enter a raffle for a gift basket, three books titled âThe Hockey Jerseyâ and two blue tooth speakers.
The celebration was well-attended, with many community members showing up to enjoy the festivities.
âVermilion Scotiabank is proud to be a part of this community for 50 years and we enjoyed celebrating with our customers while raising funds for a local organization. We want to thank everyone who joined us for our BBQ and celebration. Thank you to Focus Society for helping make this event a success, to Pentacon Utility Services Inc. for use of the BBQ, J6 Baking for the cupcakes, and to the Ag Society for the tables and chairs,â said Vermilion Scotiabank Branch Manager Barb Rozka.
Along with the BBQ and book sale, the bank also offered complimentary cupcakes, coffee, and iced tea to attendees. The event was a great opportunity for community members to come together and celebrate Scotiabankâs long-standing presence in Vermilion.
