TD Canada Trust opens new branch in Stittsville

More comfort and convenience in the thriving Ottawa community

OTTAWA, ON, Dec. 16, 2012 /CNW/ - TD Canada Trust today officially opened its newest open concept branch in Stittsville. Located at 5679 Hazeldean Road, this new 5,122-square-foot branch is full service and open seven days a week to serve the needs of the growing young community.

"I'm very excited to be part of this new Ottawa development," said Robin Hash, Branch Manager. "This convenient location is easy to get to and will help to serve the growing needs of this thriving community."

Features of the new branch include:

• An open concept design that helps TD serve customers better by moving financial specialists out from behind desks directly to the customers.
• A customer lounge with a coffee station and magazine rack lets customers wait in comfort if they arrive early for an appointment or are waiting for their friends or family to complete their banking.
• A community boardroom designed for use by businesses and not-for-profit groups.  This room is available free-of-charge and includes business services such as video conferencing capabilities and a printer.
• A community wall shares a pictorial story about the area.  The current display features projects funded by the local chapter of the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation and includes space for community groups to post flyers about upcoming events
• Digital displays mounted throughout the branch provide customers with current information about TD products and services.
  
  

In addition to the grand-opening festivities and ribbon-cutting ceremony, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation made a $5,000 donation to Carp Ridge Learning Center to support educational children's programs.

TD chose this particular location because the area is growing. We expect to see continued growth in Stittsville based on the popularity of the community and the growing network of small businesses in the area.

As part of TD Canada Trust's extended hours, the branch is open 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday through Wednesday; 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Thursday and Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday and 11:00p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Sunday.
