Nearly 900 workstations have been set up at TD Bank’s new centre at CF Champlain Place as it prepares to open early next year. The first 150 employees for the contact centre and the finance hub are set to begin working January 14, executives say.

the finance centre will serve all of TD’s lines of businesses for Canada and the U.S. The finance side is not a contact centre, said VP and Head of Finance Operations Dale McErlean. She confirmed the average annual compensation for this side of the business will be $65,000, as announced in April.
“We’ll be doing all of the general accounting, the financial statements, all of the financial reporting for the bank for both Canada and for the U.S.,” she said. “We’re going to have 80 new finance employees starting in January, and then we’re going to gradually build up to the end of 2019 to just over 200, and then within three years, we’ll be up to 440.”

In April, TD announced it will create up to 1,015 jobs at the new centre. Around 575 of those will be contact centre jobs and 440 will be high-skilled finance jobs. LeBlanc said the bank still plans to fill 1,015 roles over the next three and a half years. The jobs on both sides do not require skills in both official languages, although bilingual people are welcome.

So, when rollout is complete in about three years, this centre will have a huge impact on the community.
The 440 corporate jobs will have an average salary of $65,000
The 575 customer contact positions will have an average salary of about $38,000
This means an annual payroll of
$50,450,000!
Just think of what a windfall this will be for the province and the city of Dieppe in terms of corporate and personal tax as well as property tax
Between renovation costs by Cadillac Fairview ($25M) and costs to finish fitting up the space by TD Bank ($50M), this is a
$75M project.
Interesting to see in the article that TD is taking great pains to ensure that all wiring and fibre optics are located in the roof rafters of the centre (it is a flood plain after all).
The centre will include:
- Variously-sized meeting rooms with glass doors for coaching, training or video and phone conferencing;
- An open concept cafeteria spanning around 7,000 square feet with 14 microwaves, eight fridges, six dishwashers and various seating arrangements;
- An open-air patio;
- Around 10,000-square-foot of vacant space currently used for storage;
- Soft-seating area and lockers for employees
- A small library for employees;
- A multi-faith room with a water station;
- A multi-purpose room;
- A first-aid room;
- Water bottle stations and flat-screen TVs for company communications throughout the floor.

re Copper Branch:
. I believe they are going to assess how the dogbone goes first, thankfully. I am a big fan of roundabouts but I don't know if our CroMag driving population could handle one here in such a tight high traffic area.
