GGN Publisher Shaun Proulx, and Al Ramsay take a trip down memory lane to 2005 when attitudes towards LGTBQ people on Bay Street – the Financial Hub of Toronto – were not as welcoming as they are today. At that time, TD Bank decided to make diversity, equality, and inclusiveness a part of its mandate, to become a welcoming bank and workplace for LGBTQ people.
TD in the Community: #ForeverProud
Ramsay tells us about the recent success of A Taste for Life. Many TD employees helped by taking part in this worthy cause all across Canada. By all accounts, this may be the most successful year to date for this fundraising event.
Small Business, Big Dreams
Al explains how TD is helping small businesses succeed by giving back to their community, something he does by offering mentorship. TD is a major partner for World Pride, taking place in New York City this year. TD will be meeting with its top 150 leaders from Canada, the USA, and Europe, for a 3-day summit in NYC to discuss what it means for TD to support the LGBTQ community.
