 Your mission

Form or join a team of 2 to 5 people to create or develop a project that’s close to your heart. Your idea must be based on one of the four given themes and be designed to improve the automotive and housing insurance sector while also helping to make the world a better place!

During the second stage, the chosen teams will have an opportunity to take part in a webinar before receiving advice and support from a TD Insurance mentor to help them develop their project in as much detail as possible – the perfect way to make sure you’re giving your best!

To finish, the teams that are nominated for the final will be given pitch preparation training before being invited to the TD Insurance headquarters in Toronto to present their project in English to a prestigious jury of company managers and experts.
