| Additional information |
Tyee Plaza is a shopping centre in Campbell River that opened in the early 1960s, and merchant token programs like this one were a brief revival of a much older retail incentive tradition — common in mid-century Canadian shopping plazas attempting to keep foot traffic local against growing competition from larger urban centres. By 1983, such programs were already fading out across the country.
