I have has a similar badge in my collection recently. In Chris Brooker's Badges of the Canadian Army 1920 - unification, Volume 2, Page 5, he describes and has several illustrations of this exact badge as being worn by the British Columbia Woman's Service Corps (BCWSC). The badge I had previously also had the number 35 above the beaver, perhaps denoting a sub-unit. This volunteer unit was organized just prior to WW2 and many members transferred to the Canadian Women's Army Corps when it was authorised in 1941.
