Woodstock's Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) branch celebrated 125 years in Woodstock on Wednesday, March 14th.
Old photos and advertisements of the bank through the years were on display during a special ceremony held on Wednesday to acknowledge the milestone. Current and former staff members, along with Woodstock's mayor, Art Slipp, and Doug Graham, assistant to Premier David Alward's Woodstock constituency office gathered to celebrate the century and a quarter of service to the Woodstock area.
