Found at an <span class="removed_link" title="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/945429576/vintage-kemptville-dairy-milk-token-good?organic_search_click=1&frs=1">Etsy shop</span> with this information:From the late 19th century through the 1960s and 1970s, dairy distributors of Canada issued tokens as monetary substitutes for convenient home delivery. They also served as advertising.
Kemptville, I think, is now part of Barrie, Ontario. So a bit more local history for Ontario. I didn’t know there were tokens like this. But, I do remember milk still being delivered when I was a kid living in what is now the eastern edge of Scarborough, Ontario. It used to be Port Union, but not known by the name of the original town any more.
