| Narrative: | During WWII Victory Loans were used by the Canadian government to raise funds for the war. Citizens and businesses purchased bonds which became the precursor to Canada Savings Bonds. There were two War Loan drives in 1940 and they were followed by nine Victory Loan drives between June 1941 and October 1945. |
