Not only Europe post-war
"Grant is correct, it is Mutual Aid as that was the name for the program in which Canada provided military equipment to help rearm some of the European NATO Allies."
Not just Europe, and not only post-war. The Canadian Mutual Aid agreements were created under the War Appropriation (United Nations Mutual Aid) Act of 1943, a wartime measure more or less equivalent to the US Act that created the US Lend-Lease programme. It was administered by the Canadian Mutual Aid Board. The symbol was the maple leaf surrounded by a segmented circle with Canada in English at the top, and in Cyrilic on the left and Chinese on the right.
