- TD Canada Trust is celebrating five years of bringing jazz to
    Canadians.

    TORONTO, June 18 /CNW/ - Canadians are getting ready to groove with the
hottest local and international jazz musicians around, from Herbie Hancock to
the Dave Brubeck Quartet and Sheila Jordan, at the 2008 TD Canada Trust Jazz
Festivals. And TD Canada Trust is looking forward to jazzing up Victoria,
Vancouver, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Halifax for the
fifth year in a row.
    "These festivals are a great chance to see the best jazz musicians from
around the world - musicians, both new and established, that a lot of
Canadians might never get a chance to see otherwise," commented Tim Hockey,
Group Head, Canadian Banking and President and CEO, TD Canada Trust. "Last
year we had over three million music lovers - many of them our customers and
employees - come out to the TD Canada Trust Jazz Festivals and we're looking
forward to welcoming them again for the fifth year."
    To help showcase Canada's up and coming jazz stars, TD Canada Trust will
also present a youth outreach program at each festival. Programs vary
according to the festival, but one thing is for sure, participants will have a
chance to learn from and jam alongside some of the jazz greats with workshops
from headlining musicians and, in some cases, a performance on the festival's
closing weekend.
    And, to amuse the little ones, the TD Friends of the Environment
Foundation Monster Murals at each festival will let them get their hands dirty
while parents learn more about TD's commitment to the environment and how they
can help.
    Most of the festivals kick off on June 20, which also happens to be TD
Canada Trust's national Customer Appreciation Day - customers are invited to
visit their nearest branch for refreshments and surprise giveaways. Below are
