Media Advisory/ Photo Opportunity - TD invests more than $1,000,000 in the success of Canada's next generation of leaders

TORONTO, April 27, 2012 /CNW/ - Can one person truly make a difference?  If the efforts of this year's twenty winners of the TD Scholarship for Community Leadership are any indication, the answer is a decisive yes.  For the 17^th year in a row, TD Scholarships for Community Leadership will award 20 exceptional young Canadians for their efforts to create positive social change with a post-secondary scholarship valued up to $70,000.

This year's recipients have taken on issues ranging from pollution and human rights to health and cross-cultural understanding. Their relentless efforts to educate and empower the community around them - and to make our world a better place - are truly inspiring.
