The coat of arms of Edmonton is the official heraldic symbol representing the City of Edmonton in Alberta, Canada. The coat of arms was granted by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on October 28, 1994.
Design[edit | edit source]
The coat of arms consists of several elements, each symbolizing different aspects of Edmonton's heritage and values.
Shield[edit | edit source]
The shield is divided into two main sections. The upper section features a golden sun in splendour on a blue background, symbolizing Edmonton's sunny climate and bright future. The lower section displays a golden garb (a sheaf of wheat), representing the city's agricultural history and prosperity.
Crest[edit | edit source]
The crest features a golden mace, symbolizing authority and governance, surmounted by a beaver couchant proper, representing industriousness and the natural environment of the region.
Supporters[edit | edit source]
The supporters are a lion and a pronghorn, both in gold. The lion, on the dexter (right) side, is gorged with a collar of wild roses, which are the provincial flower of Alberta. The pronghorn, on the sinister (left) side, is also gorged with a collar of wild roses, symbolizing the wildlife native to the region.
Compartment[edit | edit source]
The compartment is a grassy mount, representing the natural landscape of Edmonton and its surrounding areas.
Motto[edit | edit source]
The motto "Industry, Integrity, Progress" reflects the values and aspirations of the city.
History[edit | edit source]
The current coat of arms was adopted in 1994, replacing an earlier version that had been in use since 1904. The redesign was part of an effort to modernize the city's symbols and better reflect its identity and heritage.
