Meatwas rationed in Canada during World War II. Families receiveda ration booklet which allowed them to purchase a limited quantity ofrationed goods, including tea, coffee, sugar, butter, booze and meateach week.

The problem was that many did not haverefrigeration at home, so they would either forfeit the whole couponfor a lesser amount of meat, or buy their full amount and risk it goingbad before it could be used. In 1945 the Canadian governmentfinally wised up and issued meat ration tokens that were good for alesser quantity of meat. Each token was worth 1/8 of a meat rationcoupon (1/4 pound of meat), so if someone bought less than their fullration of meat the tokens could be given out to be usedlater. If one bought half their weekly ration of meat, theywould receive four tokens for later use. The 22mm blue tokenis struck on a heavy blue cardboard with a center hole. Both sides havethe same design with the words 'CANADA- RATION MEAT - VIANDE' and twomaple leaves.
