Newly relocated branch to serve nearby students, residential and business community

CALGARY, March 17, 2012 /CNW/ - TD Canada Trust celebrated being "green" today by officially re-opening its newest state-of-the-art branch in Calgary at the North Hill Shopping Centre. The newly relocated branch is full service, open seven days a week and has a number of features unique to TD Canada Trust branches.

"Being in the North Hill Shopping Centre, close to SAIT Polytechnic and along the busy TransCanada highway makes us well-positioned to serve the nearby student community and shoppers while they're running other errands in the mall," said Greg Quinn, Vice President, TD Canada Trust, who performed the official ribbon cutting. "We are very excited to be re-opening in a convenient location to serve the financial needs of one of Calgary's busiest and most diverse communities."

Features of the new branch include:

• A Community Boardroom designed for use by groups of customers including families, businesses and not-for-profit groups.  This room is available free-of-charge and includes business services such as video conferencing capabilities, a printer and a fax machine.
   
• A Community Wall shares a pictorial story about the local area.  The current display features projects funded by the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation and includes space for community groups to post flyers about upcoming events
   
• Digital Displays mounted throughout the branch to provide customers with current information about TD products and services
   
• A Customer Lounge with a coffee station lets customers wait in comfort if they arrive early for an appointment or are waiting for their friends or family to complete their banking

In addition to the grand-opening festivities and ribbon-cutting ceremony, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation made a $5,000 donation to the Vista Heights School Great Outdoors Project as part of TD's ongoing commitment to the environment and the community. The Great Outdoors project allows elementary school children the chance to visit Kananskis to teach them sustainability practices and help them understand how to reduce their ecological footprint.
