First National Bank of Scotia, which is still headquartered at 201 Mohawk Ave., is celebrating a century in business.

A celebration was held Friday afternoon.

The event’s highlight was a ribbon cutting for the bank’s main office, which has been renovated, and saw many of the key features from the 1923 branch restored.
