In a display of community spirit, TD Canada Trust hosted its 7th TD Tree Days event. On September 14, the financial institution once again embraced its commitment to environmental sustainability, transforming the landscape of the fire training facility on the west side with the addition of approximately 200 new trees.
A gathering that resonated with the essence of togetherness, the event drew in a commendable turnout of approximately 40 volunteers, all eager to contribute to the greening of their local environment. The event began early morning at 9 a.m., and to ensure the volunteers were fueled with enthusiasm and energy, the local Vermilion Tim Hortons stepped up, generously donating steaming cups of coffee, hot chocolate, and Tim Bits. This gesture not only warmed the participants’ spirits but also provided a sense of unity among those present. It was a show of support that exists between local businesses and the community they serve.
As lunchtime approached, an array of local eateries joined the noble cause, ensuring that no stomach went empty during the arduous day of planting. Express Pizza, Nick’s Family Restaurant, Pizza Hut, and Boston Pizza donated pizzas and Subway with sub sandwiches to satiate the appetites of the hardworking volunteers. This support proved invaluable, offering a respite and much-needed sustenance to the dedicated crew.
TD Canada Trust’s commitment to environmental stewardship in Vermilion has deep roots and has spanned nearly a decade. Since 2014, this financial institution branch has tirelessly nurtured the community’s green spaces, planting trees that serve as a lasting testament to their dedication to environmental conservation.
The TD Tree Days event in Vermilion goes beyond merely planting trees; it represents a connection between a financial institution and the community it serves. “This is our way of helping to ensure that Vermilion stays green,” commented TD Canada Trust Branch Manager, Marlene Beattie. She also noted that for this planting season, TD was working with 75 different organizations to plant over 30,000 trees.
Beattie also mentioned that the Lloydminster TD branch will also be participating this year for the second time planting trees at Lloydminster Lakeland College on Saturday, September 28.
