A Little bit of Powell River History (courtesy of Townsite Society of Powell River website)
During the depression years, the Powell River Company requested a loan from the Bank of Commerce to undertake the expansion of their facilities. The Bank of Commerce turned them down. The Company went to great lengths and expense to find a bank which would provide them with the required loan. They eventually succeeded with the Bank of Montreal who built offices directly across the street from the Bank of Commerce's original location.
