Join us for a special TD Canada Trust Book Sale on Wednesday, September 8 from 8:30AM - 5:00PM.

Come to the TD Canada Trust Tyndall Market Branch located at 850 Keewatin Street and say hi to Amanda and her friends from the bank who will be selling books in support of the Children’s Museum. And while you’re there, don’t miss out on your chance to win a special prize from the Manitoba Children’s Museum!

TD Canada Trust Book Sales are a great place to find all kinds of books. For example, the last time I was there, I found some great books on how to keep my fur looking its best. It was a lot of fun!

Book prices are $1/each for soft covers and $2/each for hard covers.

All the money raised at the TD Canada Trust Book Sale will support the literacy programs at the Manitoba Children’s Museum.

Look forward to seeing you there!

Your group, made up of family, friends or colleagues, will be paired with a professional choreographer for 10 hours of pre-event instruction. After you’ve rehearsed and fundraised, you will perform at Pantages Theatre in the Way Off Broadway Recital.
