    - TD Friends of the Environment Foundation helps build awareness for

    CALGARY, June 18 /CNW/ - Ever imagine you'd see the words 'rock festival'
and 'bank' in the same sentence? For the first time, Virgin Festival will be
rockin' Calgary and Canada's most comfortable bank, TD Canada Trust, will be
there to help pump up the volume at Fort Calgary on June 21 and 22.
    Another first for this year is the introduction of Green Spot - an area
in the Festival dedicated to building environmental awareness. TD Friends of
the Environment Foundation (TD FEF) is inviting music lovers to the TD Go Zone
to access solar-powered computers, check out the biodiesel exhibit, charge
their MP3 players and cameras at the solar-powered stations and find out how
TD FEF, and the communities it supports, are making a difference for the
environment.
    "Sponsoring Virgin Festival Calgary is a great way for us to reach out to
young Albertans, especially about our focus on the environment through TD
Friends of the Environment Foundation. We're looking forward to exciting
music, but also to having great conversations in the TD Go Zone about the
environment and the future of Green," said Tim Hockey, Group Head, Canadian
Banking and President and CEO, TD Canada Trust.
    Hot, dirty and sunburned? Not at this festival! TD Canada Trust is all
about comfort so the TD Comfort Crew will be in the crowd handing out
sunscreen, hand sanitizers and misters to help people stay cool and have a
more comfortable experience.

sponsorships that include eight of Canada's foremost jazz festivals, Canadian
Idol and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, and by supporting important
and exciting music programs like the National Youth Orchestra, Piano Plus and

with music, sponsoring Virgin's Mobile Music Festivals in Canada just feels,
well, comfortable.
