Helping the Communitiesin Which We Live and Work

TD recognizes that our success as a financialinstitution and a community partner is directlyrelated to the health of our communities.That's why we donate millions of dollarsand encourage our employees to volunteerfor causes that matter to our customers,

employees and stakeholders.

A Passion for ReadingA lifelong love of reading starts with the first great book you ever read.

And encouraging that love is one of our great passions at TD.That's why we set up the TD Grade One Book Giveaway.

Last year, TD and the Canadian Children's Book Centre (CCBC) teamed upfor the 12th consecutive year to distribute more than half a million copiesof Gifts, written by Jo Ellen Bogart and illustrated by Barbara Reid,

to Canada's grade one students.Fully funded by TD, the program has provided over five million books

since 2000 to school-aged children in the country. Each year, a different bookis distributed in both English and French. "Thanks to TD's support and dedication to children's

literacy, we hope that Gifts encourages the imaginationsof young children across Canada and teaches them about the joy of reading,"

said Charlotte Teeple, executive director of CCBC.Karen Foster, librarian at the Chippewas of Georgina Island First NationPublic Library, added, "Those giveaway books were like gold to us.

They brought children and families through the doors of our small libraries- and still do."

TD supports a number of literacy initiatives across our footprint.Approximately 600,000 children took part in TD Summer Reading Club programs at libraries

across North America last year. TD donated $100,000 to First Book,a not-for-profit dedicated to providing books for children in

underserved communities in Canada and the U.S.We're also a long-time supporter of the Right to Read program in the U.K.,

where TD employees volunteer at schools in Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham to help childrenimprove reading and social skills.

In Lethbridge, TD is proud to support theLethbridge Public Library in hosting

The 2012Word On The Street Festival;a day celebrating literacyand the love of reading.
