Armorial of Canadian universities
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The armorial of Canadian universities is the collection of coats of arms of universities in Canada. Approximately 60 Canadian universities have their own coats of arms.[1] Coats of arms are designed to represent the history and values of the institutions they represent and are used as a brand image for the university. Canadian coats of arms often incorporate First Nations symbolism.[1]
Coats of arms include a number of elements or parts (e.g., Escutcheon, Crest, Supporters, Badge). Some also include a motto, although this may be used separately from the coat of arms. Detailed information about the coats of arms of Canadian universities is listed on the Public Register of Arms, Flags and Badges.
