The Olympic Trust of Canada tokens were a series of 28 commemorative medals issued in 1980 to raise funds for the Canadian Olympic team. These tokens were distributed through Loblaws, a company owned by George Weston Ltd. Each token featured a different Olympic sport, such as wrestling, athletics, archery, hockey, basketball, biathlon, bobsleigh, boxing, canoeing, cycling, equestrian, fencing, figure skating, football, gymnastics, handball, ice hockey, judo, luge, Nordic skiing, rowing, shooting, speed skating, swimming, volleyball, weightlifting, and yachting. The tokens were made of nickel-plated brass, weighed around 11.84 grams, and had a diameter of 31.7 mm. The obverse of each token displayed the name of the sport, while the reverse featured the inscription "Olympic Trust of Canada" in both English and French.
