The usuryfree dollar currency commonly referred to as the Unity was launched in the spring of 2006 in the Madawaska Valley area of Eastern Ontario, CANADA.

There are participating traders in various towns and villages in the Madawaska Valley such as: Killaloe, Eganville, Golden Lake, Combermere, Bancroft and Barry's Bay. This network of Unity traders are unique as they solicited supporting businesses to advertise on the back of the paper notes thereby raising the federal cash to print the Unity dollars.

There are approximately 70 Unity traders who are active within this Unity Dollar network. Other communities in Ontario and Quebec are currently organizing businesses so that they can copy this Unity model. Many Unity traders are willingly accepting other usuryfree community currencies at par.
