TD generously supported Surrey Hospitals Foundation’s COVID-19 Response Fund with a donation of $10,000, specifically geared towards the Staff Nutrition and Wellness program. Our medical teams are a key resource to help fight this pandemic. Providing free meals throughout the pandemic not only helps them physically, it also provides emotional and psychological support during this critical time.
Surrey Memorial Hospital has just under 1500 staff members during day shifts and approximately 550 night shift staff. The Nutrition and Wellness program was made available to the whole team.

Launched in 2018, the TD Ready Commitment is a corporate citizenship platform by TD Bank Group and is premised on the belief that everyone – no matter who they are or where they come from – should be given the chance to succeed in a world that is constantly changing. The TD Ready Commitment community giving is based on four main pillars:
Financial Security
Environment [Vibrant Planet]
Connected Communities
Better Health
Giving in these four key areas is critical for supporting changes, nurturing progress, and contributing to making the world a better, more inclusive place. Through the TD Ready Commitment, TD is targeting C$1 billion by 2030 towards community giving, of which TD has already donated millions to organizations in the Pacific Region since 2018.
