TORONTO, July 6, 2011 /CNW/ - Whether renting or owning for a long time or short period in the community, most residents of the Greater Toronto Area feel very happy about where they live, according to the TD Canada Trust GTA Regional Report. TD Canada Trust is proud to join downtown Toronto's urban chic community with the opening of its "new concept" branch to serve new and longtime residents. Located at Lake Shore Blvd. and Bathurst Street, the 5,300 square foot branch is situated near historic Fort York, Exhibition Place and Coronation Park on the waterfront, includes an open concept design, with high-tech digital displays, customer lounge and other special features to enhance the banking experience.
"We're very thrilled to celebrate the opening of our new concept branch and be part of such a wonderful and vibrant community," says Jarod Phillips, Branch Manager, TD Canada Trust.
