March 15, 2013 - 16:53 AMT

PanARMENIAN.Net - A new TD Canada Trust branch was inaugurated on
Thursday, March 14, 2013 at Les Galeries Normandie in the borough of
Ahuntsic-Cartierville, Canada Newswire reported.

At the event, TD executives donated $5,000 to the Armenian Community
Center of Montreal to finance the creation of an organic vegetable
garden and a tree-planting project on behalf of the TD Friends of
the Environment Foundation (TD FEF).

"With the opening of this new branch, we have strong momentum and
continue to grow in Quebec," says Christine Marchildon, TD Bank
Group's Senior Vice President, Branch Banking and Chair, Quebec
Market. "Promoting diversity and protecting the environment are among
our core values. We would like to thank the Armenian Community Centre
of Montreal for their passion and commitment to this project, which
will have a positive impact on the entire community."

The new branch has 4,000 square feet of space and is staffed by 13
employees. It will provide both personal and small business banking
services.

As is the tradition when opening its new branches, the TD Friends
of the Environment Foundation made a donation in support of a local
organization's project. In this instance, the Armenian Community
Center of Montreal received $5,000 to create an organic vegetable
garden and a tree-planting project.

Members of the seniors' association will lead the garden project, in an
effort to involve local children in a unifying and intergenerational
activity. In fact, this project will feature a dietitian, who will
teach children the basic principles of healthy eating, while a chef
will create delicious meals for them using the garden's vegetables. The
tree-planting project will take place at the Armenian Community Center
of Montreal complex.

"We are very grateful to TD Bank Group, for allowing us develop these
projects, which are extremely important for community members of all
ages," says Maral Tersakian, a Board Member of the Armenian Community
Center of Montreal.
