The Canadian Coat of Arms
The Canadian coat of arms was adopted in 1921. It is similar to the coat of arms of the UK. It is officially known as “Arms of His/Her Majesty in Right of Canada”. It features a white lion and a golden unicorn holding up a shield.
The Canadian coat of arms has a shield with five basic elements. It contains three heraldic lions, which stand for England. It also contains the red lion rampant banner, which represents Scotland. It has a harp, which is a symbol of Ireland. It also has three fleurs-de-lis, which represent France. The last and bottom section features three maple leaves, which stand for Canada itself.
Several other elements are included. One such element is a banner with the Latin motto “mari usque ad mare” printed on it. This means from sea to sea. The Canadian coat of arms also includes a crown, ribbon, and helm.
