Description

During World War II, Canada, like many other nations, implemented a rationing system to manage the distribution of essential goods, including meat. Ration tokens were issued to Canadian citizens as part of this system, ensuring fair access to limited supplies. These tokens were specifically designated for meat purchases, supplementing ration books and preventing hoarding during wartime. The tokens are small, typically made of fiber or plastic, and feature distinct markings to indicate their purpose. The inscription "CANADA MEAT VIANDE RATION" is common, reflecting Canada's bilingual nature. These tokens are now considered collectible items, offering a tangible connection to the sacrifices and resourcefulness of Canadians during WWII. They serve as a reminder of the home front efforts that supported the country's involvement in the war.
