Saint-Tite is a small town in Mauricie best known for its annual Western Festival, and this note was issued by the local Metro-affiliated grocery store as a promotional currency — almost certainly tied to that event or a customer loyalty scheme. Local merchant scrip of this kind remains common in rural Quebec, where small businesses occasionally issue redeemable notes to drive return traffic. The practice has no federal authorization and operates in a legal grey zone that Canadian authorities have consistently declined to prosecute.
At 190 x 76 mm, this is unusually large for modern merchant scrip — most contemporary Canadian examples run closer to standard banknote dimensions.
