In 1964, to celebrate its 100th Anniversary, Huron & Erie sponsored tree plantings in communities across Canada.

TD's global vision came to be symbolized by its Head Office, the dramatic, international-style Toronto-Dominion Tower which opened in 1967 and for a time, was the tallest building in Canada.

TD first appeared on TV in 1968, when its debut commercials included the slogan "The Bank Where People Make the Difference."

Capping this era of modernization, TD's introduced a new corporate identity in 1969 with the iconic TD Shield.

In 1996 the New York-based Waterhouse Investor Services was purchased, a move that doubled the size of TD's discount brokerage overnight.
