    TORONTO, July 31 /CNW/ - Brian Lansfield, an Oshawa firefighter and his
girlfriend, will cheer for our Canadian Olympic athletes, not in front of the
TV but in person. Last night, Mr. Lansfield, the lucky winner of a trip for
two to the sold out Beijing 2008 Olympic Games in China, received his plane
tickets from Jonathan Dilkas, Branch Manager, in a special presentation at his
local TD Canada Trust branch in Oshawa. This is one of eight dream vacations
that are being given away each month from April until December 2008 during the
TD Visa Spend & Win contest.
    "I almost hung up when I first got the call that I had won because I
couldn't believe it was true. I've never won anything like this before!"
commented Mr. Lansfield. "I'm so excited to go to the Olympics and China for
the first time in my life. I always follow every event at the Olympics; since
'72 I've been an avid fan."
    Lansfield, a TD Visa cardholder since 2007, and his girlfriend will
travel on August 9 to Beijing, enjoy five-star accommodations, attend two
Olympic events per day, including artistic gymnastics, volleyball, field
hockey and soccer and receive $750 CDN applied as a credit to his TD Visa
Card.
    From August 14 to 17, Jade Tours will host a tour to the coastal town of
Tianjin including a visit to the top of the observation tower before checking
out the local food market and antique shops. After lunch at the Hutong Tower
in Beijing the next day, the winners will also get to visit the Lama Temple, a
Tibetan Buddhist monastery. And no trip to China is complete without a day to
explore the Great Wall of China at Badaling before heading home on August 18.
    "We're thrilled to be able to offer one of our cardholders the trip of a
lifetime to see the world's most exciting sporting event," commented Jim
Sallas, Senior Vice President, Personal Lending and Credit Cards, TD Visa.
"Helping Canadians achieve their travel dreams is one of the best things about
our new suite of travel rewards cards. With their Book Any Way flexibility,
cardholders can reach their favourite destinations even sooner. And, they
could also win one of the eight dream vacations we're giving away with our TD
Visa Spend & Win contest available to all TD Visa cardholders."
    Until December 2008, every $25 cardholders spend on their TD Visa Card
will give them a chance to win a dream vacation or one of over 50 monthly
prizes including digital cameras and portable GPS navigation units. With a
different vacation awarded each month, cardholders have the chance to go to
