Province of Ontario Correctional Services. These are older badges, but the cap is quite common. The service may have had different designations in the past.

I can't say with certainty when they started on issue, but they were worn in the 1950's and 1960's. And I am not certain of an end date. Note, the detail on your badges is excellent. The examples I see of the cap are usually almost polished out.
