Today’s story on the Canadian bank which refused to open an account for a pro-family group incorrectly identified the offending bank as the Bank of Montreal. In fact the bank in question is the Royal Bank of Canada. Below is a corrected version of today’s LifeSite report.
ROYAL BANK OF CANADA REFUSES TO OPEN ACCOUNT FOR PRO-FAMILY GROUP
MONTREAL, June 20, 2001 (LSN.ca) – LifeSite has learned that the Royal Bank of Canada has refused to open a bank account for a group opposed to the “Gay Games” scheduled for Montreal in 2006. The “No Committee,” consisting of a coalition of various pro-family groups wants to present the Montreal city government with arguments against the city’s hosting of the “Gay Games.”
The issue will be publicized at a press conference on Friday at 10:30am at Place Cr{197}{189}mazie Room 425 in Montreal. Among the participants in the press conference will be Campaigne Quebec Vie President Gilles Grondin and Christian Heritage Party Leader Ron Gray. Gray told LifeSite that the bank is violating the Charter rights of the groups on the No Committee.
