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.
