WHY HOT? CREATING JOBS THROUGH EXPANSION
One insurer in New Brunswick certainly warmed a lot of hearts by pledging to create jobs after a string of layoffs another company back in November. TD Bank Group Deputy Chair, Frank McKenna and TD Insurance President & CEO, Kenn Lalonde brought smiles to the Saint John area when they announced TD Insurance would be expanding operations and creating 275 jobs over three years in the area.
“TD has a long and rich history in New Brunswick,” said McKenna, “and this expansion further demonstrates our continued commitment to the province and to delivering service excellence to our customers.”
It was earlier that month that one of Canada’s major insurance firms closed its Moncton, N.B. office, transitioning its underwriting operations to Halifax, N.S. and putting 22 people out of work.
It was only days after the Moncton announcement that the same company closed its Hamilton, Ont. office and shifted resources to neighbouring communities.
