-   Survey to mark TD Canada Trust's longer hours and the hour most
        Canadians gain this weekend, shows that if Ontarians were given an
        extra hour, sleep would be their number one choice; respondents from
        Ontario would rather volunteer or work than hang out with the family
        or rest.
    -   Starting today, Ontario 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

    OTTAWA, Nov. 1 /CNW/ - Today is the day that hundreds of TD Canada Trust
branches in Ontario switch over to extended hours of operation. On average,
Ontario 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 Ontarians do? Their first choice would be catching up on
sleep, and the next choice would be reading.
    Ontarians are on the same page as most Canadians in these choices. The
percentage of Ontarians choosing sleep, at 23%, is the same as the national
average and the percentage choosing reading (19%) is only slightly below.
    The next three choices for Ontarians are schoolwork, volunteer activities
or housework (11%); spending an extra hour with family or children (10%); and
resting and relaxing (8%).
    "However Ontarians 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.

    Major ad campaign and giveaways in branches

    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.
