TORONTO, Feb. 18, 2017 /CNW/ - As families gather for quality time this Family Day weekend, TD Bank Group launches #TDCommonGround, an initiative celebrating Canada's 150th birthday that will invest in the future of green spaces by revitalizing over 150 community spaces across the country.
This long weekend, visitors to Toronto's Harbourfront Centre have the opportunity to get a sneak peek of community green space revitalizations planned across the country with the pop-up of a Green Globe featuring 1,200 square feet of lush, interactive green space complete with trees, greenery, a bridge and pond open during the heart of Canada's coldest month.
"Community green spaces are an integral part of the Canadian identity. It's where we come together to meet, talk and play – it's where people find common ground and connection," said Theresa McLaughlin, Executive Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer, TD Bank Group. "TD is proud to celebrate our great nation's 150th birthday by enriching and connecting communities across Canada."
TD has been committed to revitalizing green spaces across the country for decades.
