TORONTO, Sept 13 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar firmed against the U.S. dollar on Thursday after the U.S. Federal Reserve announced a third round of aggressive quantitative easing.

Canada's dollar touched C$0.9725 versus the U.S. currency, or $1.0283, up from C$0.9764, or $1.0242, shortly before the announcement.
