MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - June 4, 2013) - On Wednesday, June 5, BMO employees in Montreal will help package snack bags for after school programs for children in Montreal.

The event will be part of the second North America-wide BMO Volunteer Day, with 5,600 employees across Canada and the U.S. rolling up their sleeves to give back.

"It's hard to believe that in Canada one in ten children start the day on an empty stomach," said Filip Papich, Managing Director, Sales, BMO Capital Markets. "Partnering with an agency that helps provide meals to young children is an honour, and a project of which BMO is proud to support."

Volunteers will be packing the bags on the BMO Capital Markets Trading Floor. The bags will then be distributed to La Maison des Enfants de l'île de Montréal and L'Ancre des jeunes.
