2017 SPRING CONVOCATION 5 Coat of Arms

As granted by Robert Douglas Watt, Chief Herald of Canada, on 1 April 2005 and entered in Volume IV, Page 451 of the Public Register of Arms, Flags and Badges of Canada.

Arms: The blue field refers to the brilliant skies, lakes and rivers that envelop the region where Thompson Rivers University is located. The wavy circle around the sun represents the sacred circle of life, a central tenet in First Nations belief systems. It also stands for the never- ending character of learning. Lastly, the wavy feature of the circle recalls that the university is located near a junction of several water sources vital to the First Nations of the region. The sun is a symbol of light and learning, a principal endeavour behind academic institutions.

Crest: The coronet honours the indigenous peoples of the region by acknowledging the important role of fish as a food source and for recreational purposes in both their community and the community at large. The black bear, frequently seen on campus, represents strength, power and determination, qualities seen as vital to the success of Thompson Rivers University. Represented as a mythic creature, the winged bear allows for a further connection to the presence of migratory birds, thus suggesting perpetual striving for excellence across all faculties and programs.

Motto: T7ETSXEMÍNTE RE STSELXMÉM means “to strive ahead” in Shuswap. It is the existing motto of Thompson Rivers University and indicates that the journey of learning is enduring and unremitting.

Supporters: The mare and stallion symbolize grace, power and endurance which characterize the institution’s approach to learning and growth. They also refer to the major role horses play in farming and ranching activities associated with this region, both in the past and present. Their collars of sage are a reference to the distinctive local landscape. The medallions hanging from the collars feature open books and echo the motif of the active pursuit of knowledge. The mare and stallion stand on a representation of the local natural environment surrounding the university. Original concept of Robert D. Watt, Chief Herald of Canada, assisted by the Heralds of Canadian Heraldic Authority.

Painter: Linda Nicholson

Calligrapher: Shirley Mangione

6 THOMPSON RIVERS UNIVERSITY Academic Procession

Convocation ceremonies begin with an Academic Procession of official representatives, faculty and students dressed in academic regalia. This colourful event represents the rich cultural and historical traditions of universities. Academic Regalia

Distinctive academic costume has been worn in universities since their inception some one thousand years ago. Until relatively recently, such costume was worn as a part of the everyday life of university. Indeed, historically, university faculty and students received firm instructions to wear gowns to tutorials, examinations and formal dinners. The gown, hood, and mortarboard are the basic items of academic costume, and originally had practical functions. The hood, for example, was specifically created to be pulled over the head to provide protection from inclement weather. However, the costume now has a symbolic function, and indicates through its colours, trim and lining, the degree and the university giving the award. Blue and sage, Thompson Rivers University’s official colours, are featured on many of the academic costumes.

2017 SPRING CONVOCATION 7 Ceremonial Mace

Chief among the elements of Convocation is the ceremonial mace. Historically, the mace symbolizes rank and was used to protect people of authority. The ceremonial mace is now a symbol of the university itself. It is carried by the Registrar who leads the academic procession and recession. Thompson Rivers University’s mace was conceptualized and carved by Kamloops-born Daniel Tom, a member of Seton Lake Band, which is part of the St’at’imc Nation, one of the Interior Salish Nations. The mace symbolizes Kamloops, the traditional meeting place of the First Nations people. To represent TRU as a meeting place for sharing cultural and academic pursuits, Daniel Tom incorporated two pieces of spruce from the Kamloops area. One piece is used for the mace, the other is the base attached to BC soapstone in the shape of spawning salmon, and together the three pieces meet, embodying the characteristics of an abstract wolf. The wolf—symbolic of TRU and local First Nations—is an animal associated with communication and a teacher of new ideas. The mace head, made from copper, represents the sun and moon, and is adorned with four animals representative of the medicine wheel associated with seasons, directions, colours and life experiences. Positioned in the north is a white buffalo carved from translucent alabaster, representing family and indicating the direction cold winter winds come from and the spiritual state. A green fieldmouse carved from jade sits in the south symbolizing the direction of the warm summer winds, the physical state and the future. In the east is an eagle cast in 18k gold, representing the cool autumn wind direction, the emotional state and the present. A black bear carved from black chlorite sits in the west and is indicative of spring, the mental state and the past. To show our connection to the environment, the mace is fashioned with only natural materials and colours. Other animal motifs also carved into the mace are the patient and wise great blue heron, which is significant to the Seton Lake Band. The salmon is prevalent as an Interior of British Columbia theme of prosperity and sustenance. A frog shape leaps over the heron’s head towards the water and is typical of transformation. Other forms that emerge from the wood grain are coyote, bald eagle, grizzly bear, and fish.

8 THOMPSON RIVERS UNIVERSITY National Anthem

O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all thy sons command. With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North strong and free! From far and wide, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. God keep our land glorious and free! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
