North Shore Bank has canceled a number of public events in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and need for social distancing. We have canceled our monthly Path to Wealth seminars for March, April, and May. (The seminars scheduled for June through November remain on the calendar for now.)

We have also canceled our annual Community Shredding Day on May 2, and will in fact discontinue the event going forward, even once the COVID-19 emergency has passed. In a press release, the bank explains: “While Community Shredding Day has been a great resource to the community for the past 13 years, we feel as though there are now safer and more secure online resources that are widely available that can be utilized by our customers rather than paper documents.”

The press release does note that “select North Shore Bank locations may offer shredding resources during various events.” You can read more about the decision in the press release.
