  • What Are the Different Types of Armorial Bearings?
    FAQ Grants of Arms Who may apply for a Grant of armorial bearings? All Canadian citizens or corporate bodies (municipalities, societies, associations, institutions, etc.) may petition to receive a grant of armorial bearings. What are the different types of armorial bearings? Three categories of armorial bearings can be requested: coats of arms, flags and badges. A coat of arms is centred on a shield and may be displayed with a helmet, mantling, a crest and a motto (see Annex 1). A grant of supporters is limited to corporate bodies and to some individuals in specific categories. What is the meaning of a Grant of Arms? Grants of armorial bearings are honours from the Canadian Crown. They provide recognition for Canadian individuals and corporate bodies and the contributions they make both in Canada and elsewhere. How does one apply for Arms? Canadian citizens or corporate bodies desiring to be granted armorial bearings by lawful authority must send to the Chief Herald of Canada a letter stating the wish "to receive armorial bearings from the Canadian Crown under the powers exercised by the Governor General." Grants of armorial bearings, as an honour, recognize the contribution made to the community by the petitioner (either individual or corporate). The background information is therefore an important tool for the Chief Herald of Canada to assess the eligibility of the request. What background information should individuals forward? Individuals should forward: (1) proof of Canadian citizenship; (2) a current biographical sketch that includes educational and employment background, as well as details of voluntary and community service. They will also be asked to complete a personal information form protected under the Privacy Act, and may be asked for names of persons to be contacted as confidential references.

  • 1 President's Message
    PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE by David M. Cvet Summer is upon us with a vengeance, breaking temperature records from the 1930's – at least in Toronto. The warmer weather has had some fits and starts, with warm weather followed by frost, causing newly planted peppers and tomatoes to be damaged beyond saving. However, these exciting events pale in comparison to seeing the Queen's Beasts (some depicted on the right) who will be attending the Society's formal dinner at this year's Annual General Meeting, scheduled for October 1-3, 2010 in Ottawa. The Annual Meeting itself will be held at the Delta Ottawa Hotel on Queen Street. The Saturday evening dinner will take place at the Canadian Museum of Civilization (across the Ottawa River in Gatineau, Quebec), which will provide a grand setting for our annual banquet, graced as it will be with these impressive “guests”. We are indeed grateful to David Rumball for organizing this event, and for arranging with the museum to have the Queen's Beasts available for the dinner. I encourage our members to make the necessary calendar and travel to enhance the “coolness” factor of the Society in order to attract arrangements to attend this splendid event. new members – and to retain our present ones. One important reason for having the AGM in Ottawa this year As an example, at the recent Toronto Branch AGM (combined (rather than being hosted by the Prairie Branch, as it would have with the Society's Board meeting earlier the same day) the been in the usual sequence) is the expectation that the new formal dinner at Hart House was visually recorded by a Canadian Heraldic Authority tabard (donated by the Society) photographer I had arranged as my guest.

This report aims to draw a clear line from the goals and objectives of the Office, through resources and activities, to the results achieved during the fiscal year. This has been a year of transition during which the Office supported the constitutional, state and representational activities of both an incoming and an outgoing Governor General. The Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean completed five years of distinguished service to Canada, making lasting contributions in support of her mandate theme of Breaking Down Solitudes. Her successor, The Right Honourable David Johnston, was installed as Canada’s 28th Governor General on October 1, 2010. Governor General Johnston has selected as his theme A Smart and Caring Nation: A Call to Service, with a focus on the pillars of families and children, learning and innovation, and philanthropy and volunteerism. These themes already resonate strongly across the country. On February 1, 2011, I had the privilege of succeeding Sheila-Marie Cook as Secretary to the Governor General.

  • ICAO 1955 Covers - the Canadian Patriotic Effort
    ICAO TIE-INS By Albert Pelsser ICAO 1955 Covers - The Canadian Patriotic Effort Some of the Canadian private first day covers issued in 1955 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) provide remarkable material on the evolution of the Coat of Arms used in Canada over the past one hundred years. The coat of arms is a unique heraldic design on a shield, which forms the central element of the full heraldic achievement consisting of shield, supporters, crest, and motto. The design is a symbol unique to an individual person or family, corporation, or state. Since 1921, the official coat of arms of the Canadian monarch and thus also of Canada is known as the Royal Coat of Arms of Canada. It is closely modelled after the royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom with French and distinctive Canadian elements replacing or added to those derived from the British version. Prior to Confederation, no armorial bearings had been assigned to Figure 1: First Canadian flag after the various colonies in British North America, with the exception Confederation of the seventeenth-century grants to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Nevertheless, each colony possessed a great seal which contained distinctive emblematic devices. The Confederation of Canada was created in 1867 by an Act of the British Parliament and given Royal Assent by Queen Victoria. Former flag of Canada used by the federal government (though it was never officially adopted by the Parliament of Canada), the Red Ensign bearing some sort of a Canadian emblem was used by Canadians both on land and at sea beginning as early as 1868, as it was informally adopted following Canadian Confederation.

  • Our Christian Heritage
    Our Christian Heritage Confederation, National Symbols and Emblems Canada’s coat of arms, adopted in 1921, stands upon the Latin phrase “A Mari Usque Ad Mare,” which when translated means “from sea to sea” a reference to Psalms 72:8. The present design of the arms of Canada was drawn by Mrs. Cathy Bursey-Sabourin, Fraser Herald at the Canadian Heraldic Authority, office of the Governor General of Canada, and faithfully depicts the arms described in the words of the Royal Proclamation dated November 21, 1921. The present design was approved in 1994 and shows a ribbon behind the shield with the motto of the Order of Canada, “Desiderantes meliorem patriam” which translates “They desire a better country” which stems from Hebrews 11:16. This version replaces a former design drawn by Mr. Alan Beddoe. Canada’s official motto “A Mari usque ad Mare” meaning “From sea to sea” is based on Psalms 72:8, “He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.” The first official use of this motto came in 1906 when it was engraved on the head of the mace of the Legislative Assembly of the new Province of Saskatchewan. The wording of the motto came to the attention of Sir Joseph Pope, then Under Secretary of State, who was impressed with its meaning. He later proposed it as motto for the new design of the coat of arms, which was approved by Order in Council on April 21, 1921 and by Royal Proclamation on November 21, 1921.

  • Annual Report 2006–07 Office of the Secretary to the Governor General · Annual Report 2006–07
    Annual Report 2006–07 Office of the Secretary to the Governor General · Annual Report 2006–07 Message from the Secretary to the Governor General and Herald Chancellor It is a pleasure for me to invite Canadians to review the fourth annual report by the Office of the Secretary to the Governor General (OSGG). The OSGG exists to support the governor general and commander-in-chief of Canada in carrying out his or her constitutional and State duties together with an active program aimed at highlighting the evolving nature of Canadian society and the contributions and achievements of our fellow citizens. The fiscal year under review, 2006-2007, marked the first full year of Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean’s mandate. In addition to carrying out her constitutional and State duties that are highlighted in this annual report, the importance of the governor general’s role in promoting and celebrating Canadian excellence was demonstrated by honouring Canadian excellence through the honours program, which recognizes ordinary Canadians for extraordinary service, bravery and academic achievement; showcasing talented Canadian performers through the free summer concerts at Rideau Hall; and promoting the excellence of Canadian food and wine through the events offered at the two official residences. The governor general’s role as Commander-in-Chief of Canada was highlighted through support for the Canadian Forces and the importance of the work they are doing on behalf of Canada. The governor general visited deployed troops in Afghanistan and deployed sailors aboard HMCS Iroquois; participated in several repatriation ceremonies at CFB Trenton for fallen soldiers and participated in pre-deployment activities at CFB Petawawa.
