-   Survey to mark TD Canada Trust's longer hours and the hour most

        extra hour, sleep would be their number one choice; neighbouring
        Albertans would rather stay awake reading
    -   Starting today, BC branches now open on average 9 more hours a week
        and TD Canada Trust now open on average 50% longer than the other
        banks
    -   National branch giveaways include gas cards, free coffee and paper,
        gift cards, chance to win flat screen TV (details below)
    -   New longer hours at TD Canada Trust the equivalent of 190 new
        branches across Canada

    VANCOUVER, Nov. 1 /CNW/ - Today is the day that TD Canada Trust branches
across British Columbia switch over to extended hours of operation. On
average, BC branches will be open 9 more hours a week. Under the banner "open
8 'til late - six days straight" the bank that already had the longest hours
in Canada is now open for business even longer - the equivalent of opening 190
new branches across the country.
    To help celebrate the launch of its new even longer hours, as well as the
extra hour most of us get from the switch to Standard Time this weekend,
TD Canada Trust commissioned Ipsos Reid to ask Canadians what they'd do with
an extra hour in the day.
    What would BC residents do with an extra hour? 28% put an hour of
shut-eye at the top of their list, compared with 23% for all Canadians. BC's
choice is also in sharp contrast to their next-door neighbours in Alberta, who
are the least likely among all regions (17%) to want to spend that extra hour
sleeping.
    The next most popular pastime for British Columbians would be reading.
21% would choose it, slightly above the national average of 20%. Other
activities rank well below in popularity, with work (meaning schoolwork,
volunteer activities or housework) coming in at 7%, resting and relaxing at 6%
and spending time with the family or children at 5%. In this last activity
category, the finding is less than half the national average of 11%.
Saskatchewan and Manitoba residents are most likely to choose family time
(18%).
    The telephone survey was conducted among 1001 randomly selected Canadians
between Sept 16th and September 18th, 2007. Overall results are accurate to
+/-3.10 percentage points, nineteen times out of twenty.
    "However BC residents like to spend their time, we know worrying about
banking isn't high on the list. Having more hours to choose from means
customers can choose a time that's convenient for them. That's what we mean
when we say TD Canada Trust has people hours, not banker's hours," said
Tim Hockey, Group Head TD Personal Banking, Co-Chair TD Canada Trust.
    The launch of new hours at TD Canada Trust is being supported by a major
advertising campaign on television, in major dailies, and on billboards across
Canada. In-branch promotions will include the following customer giveaways:

    -   On November 3rd, $10 PetroCanada gas cards will be handed out to the
        first 25 customers
    -   The week of November 5th, the first 40 customers will get a coupon
        for Tim Horton's and a newspaper.
    -   The week of November 12th, the first 25 customers will receive a $10
        Indigo/Chapters gift card and/or a reusable shopping bag.
    -   The week of November 19th, during the first hour open, everyone will
        get the chance to win a flat screen television - one per branch.
