Salty sea air, fresh local cuisine and leisurely days filled with cycling and kayaking during a sailing trip to some of the most beautiful regions of this great country.

In addition to the contest, TD Bank Financial Group is launching a multi-media marketing campaign to promote this year's TD Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. Targeting environmentally-conscious Canadians, ads will appear in the Globe & Mail, commuter papers and magazines including Time, Maclean's, National Geographic, L'Actualité and Chatelaine. The creative is primarily in TD's iconic green, featuring a frog in a pond and copy that calls viewers to action. The ads will also appear in transit shelters, targeting specific shoreline cleanup locations and online. FCB developed the creative, and The Media Company is handling the ad buy.
