I suspect it is actually burlap and not canvas.

If there is no Broad Arrow or C Broad Arrow stamp on it, probably a commercial product from Canadian Burlap Bag Company. Might have been 'Canada', but I cannot recall where they were based.

My Dad was a Civil Defence Volunteer here in Winnipeg in the 1950's and I recall seeing a bunch in our basement for many years after the 1950 Flood. Cannot recall what dates they were but I think burlap weakens over time so dating production would make sense.
