The best wish you can make is a wish for someone else. In this case it was the wish of a wife for her husband. Elite wheelchair racer, actor and stuntman Josh Cassidy gets to live everyone's dream of floating in a simulated zero-gravity chamber. This spot was made to celebrate BMO's 200th year of business. Want to make a wish for someone else? Go to bmo200.com. If you'd rather go old school, use their finder to locate a real fountain. BY the way, BMO there will be a lot of wishes throughout its 200th year in business. The bicentennial fountain travels from Toronto to Chicago and Montreal. So far, more than 18,000 wishes have been tossed into the bank’s digital fountain with the top three wishing categories being “Family”, “Happiness” and “Community.” Very cool. And a nice way to celebrate 200 years of business for BMO, too.
