Office as a symbolic tribute to
the Canadian geographic entity,
Mr. Cote stated. It has as its
design a blue reproduction of
the Coat of Arms, to the right
of which, in bright red, is the
eleven-pointed Maple Leaf of
the National Flag.
Canada’s official Coat of
Arms .dates .from a proclama
tion by His Majesty,, King
George V on November 21,
1921. It shows, the Royal Arms
of England, Scotland and Ire
land and those of France above
three Maple Leaves which are
similar to those incorporated in
"Armorial Ensigns” granted
Quebec .and Ontario in 1868 by
Her Majesty QUeen Victoria.
The Coat of Arms includes the
British Lion holding the Union
Jack and the Unicorn holding
the French Fleur de Lis. At the
base appears the Canadian
motto: “A Mari usque ad mare”
or “From Siea to Sea”.
