UPDATE - February 8/2011[/b][/i][/size] - TD Bank has finally announced the branches that will open this Sunday, in their new plan to open 300 branches across Canada. Today in The Toronto Star a few of the 60 Greater Toronto Area (GTA) branches are listed. Dundas/Spadina, Bay/Bloor and Church/Wellesley and Yonge/Eglinton are a few opening this Sunday 12-4 pm.
To find any bank across Canada that is open this Sunday from 12-4pm check this LINK HERE to enter your city and branch, be sure to click "open Sunday".

UPDATE - November 1/2010[/b][/size] - Just found out this morning that the downtown TD Canada Trust branches, opening Sundays, will be Church/Wellesley and Bloor/Bay starting February 13/2011, I'm sure more announcements to come.[/size]
It use to be in Toronto many years ago you couldn't buy a beer in downtown Toronto without buying something to eat. Most people drove the hour and half to Buffalo on Sundays for some shopping and an "adult" drink without the food.
Then a local furrier, Paul Magdar on Spadina Avenue challenged the law about shopping on Sundays and opened his store every Sunday and was fined over $50,000 which lead to his bankruptcy, after 20 years of defying the Sunday closing law.
Now 2010, everyone is open on Sundays and Magdar is back in business, but so are the malls.
[/img]Now TD Canada Trust has announced they will be opening 300 branches across Canada on Sundays and giving the customers what they want. Whether it will apply to TD Banks in the USA is unknown. [/img]Canada Trust was the original bank in Canada that initiated extended hours when they changed their hours from 8am to 8pm and when the two banks merged those hours were extended to the TD banks.
Banking from 10am to 3pm is long in the past, but the Sunday banking is a refreshing start.

UPDATE - October 31/2010 - Here's the official announcement from TD Canada Trust but they don't tell us which branches will be open, but they did say the Sunday hours will be noon to 4pm.

TD-Canada Trust has been a huge sponsor of many local events over the years and during the G20 summit in Toronto in June 2010, their completely glass windows branch at Queen/Bay were damaged during the riots downtown, as a symbol of corporate greed, according to certain anarchist groups who protested during the summit in Toronto.

Anonymous writes: What are we coming to?? It was announced last week that TD Canada Trust will be opening selected branches around the city in the new year on Sundays! Now I know CIBC has already implimented this change, but my question is why on earth is this necessary? TD Canada Trust is already known to have the longest banking hours available to its clients. They are open from 8-8 Monday - Friday and Saturday 8-3, as far as I am concerned if you cannot make arrangements to go to the bank during the current 67 hours a week that they are open then you have a scheduling problem. Sundays are a day of rest, time to spend with your family, or to attend your place of worship, not to go to the bank. Why is it that we as a society need to have every possible convenience available to us 24/7? We don't have to live like our American friends with 24/7 everything. Don't we all deserve some time away from work, to relax and enjoy life? This goes for all jobs, not just banking by the way! Annonymous

I agree with you but this is 2010 and for whatever reason people make their own choices, if no-one does any banking they will close. You or anyone, for that matter can not go shopping at a bank or anywhere else on Sundays, just don't do it, problem solved, but I may work Monday to Saturday and it's the only day I have free. My day of worship may be Friday, or Saturday or Wednesday. It's a different world now. My only beef is they should not force people to work on their day of worship, whether it's Sunday or Friday.
