  • 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.

  • Project Folder: Honour Without Courage
    Project by Levi Orta Montreal, 2013 In Quebec, 85% of the population rejects the monarchy as a model of representation for Canada; the monarchy justifies itself as a cultural tradition of the country. I am interested in linking the concepts of “representation” in art and “representation” in politics, triggering a perversion of both. The project uses a fictional event where I save the life of a woman disguised as Queen Elizabeth II in order to apply for the “Star of Courage”, a decoration awarded by the representative of the monarchy in Canada by order of the Queen. The whole application process, the proofs of the heroic action, and the expected granting of the medal are part of the project. It is one representation that meets another, the realities of art and politics dissolving into each other and becoming accomplices. … Au Québec, 85% de la population rejette la monarchie comme modèle de représentation du Canada ; la monarchie justifie l’implémentation de ses pratiques comme un sujet de tradition culturelle du pays. Je suis intéressé à lier les concepts de « représentation » dans l’art et de « représentation » dans la politique, afin de provoquer une perversion de ces représentations. Le projet consiste à utiliser un incident fictif lors duquel je sauve la vie d'une femme déguisée en Reine Elizabeth II afin de soumettre ma candidature à la nomination de la « Star of Courage », une décoration décernée par la monarchie canadienne sur ordre de la Reine. Tout le processus d’application, les preuves de l’action héroïque ainsi que l’octroi tant attendu de la médaille font partie du projet.

Users should turn their hearing aids to the setting marked T. Members of the congregation are kindly requested to refrain from using private cameras, video, or sound-recording equipment. Please ensure that mobile phones, pagers, and other electronic devices are switched off. It is my great pleasure, as Chairman of the Council of Commonwealth Societies, to welcome you to this very special event. In a deeply disturbed and uneasy world, the Commonwealth family assembles once again at Westminster Abbey to celebrate and give thanks for our unity, friendship, shared purpose and values. With half of the Commonwealth’s peoples being under twenty-five, this is the family and the network in which tomorrow meets today, in which the aspiring young who are the future come together with those who have built the past and the present. Today there are forces and trends at work more powerful than any single government that are binding together the young people of all Commonwealth countries as never before—and in ways which would have astounded their forbears. A new kind of Commonwealth is emerging. Instantaneous contact, and constant and open communication unite schoolchildren and students, professional people of all kinds, sportsmen and women in every field, entrepreneurs, ideas and investors, artists and authors, faiths and friends in a daily conversation and worldwide association the like of which exists nowhere else.

  • Privy Council (For Canada)
    Privy Council (for Canada) The Privy Council for Canada is a group of prominent individuals appointed, for life, by the Governor General. The appointments are made, as a matter ofconvention , on the advice of the Prime Minister. The Privy Council is tasked with aiding the reigning monarch (and thus the Governor General) by providing advice on significant issues.[1] Privy Council – A Brief History The origins of the English Privy Council date back to that country’s earliest history,[2] but little is known of its structure or procedures before 1540.[3] In addition to its advisory role to the British Monarch, from 1833 until 1949, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council served as the highest Court of Appeal for Canada: supreme even to our own Supreme Court.[4] During this period, Canadian constitutional law was largely shaped from London.[5] The Canadian Privy Council was established by theBritish North America Act, 1867 (later renamed the Constitution Act, 1867).[6] Unlike its counterpart in the United Kingdom, it never functioned as a court. Instead, it was tasked with advising the Monarch, and with passing all orders-in-council / acts of executive power.[7] Privy Council – The Job Today, the Privy Council continues its historic role, advising the Governor General on various matters of state, including the use of royal prerogative (e.g. declaring war, assenting to legislation and calling an election).[8] However, advice given by the full council is not binding: the Governor General is, in practice, only obligated to follow the advice

  • Heraldic Terms
    HERALDIC TERMS The following terms, and their definitions, are used in heraldry. Some terms and practices were used in period real-world heraldry only. Some terms and practices are used in modern real-world heraldry only. Other terms and practices are used in SCA heraldry only. Most are used in both real-world and SCA heraldry. All are presented here as an aid to heraldic research and education. A LA CUISSE, A LA QUISE - at the thigh ABAISED, ABAISSÉ, ABASED - a charge or element depicted lower than its normal position ABATEMENTS - marks of disgrace placed on the shield of an offender of the law. There are extreme few records of such being employed, and then only noted in rolls. (As who would display their device if it had an abatement on it?) ABISME - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ABOUTÉ - end to end ABOVE - an ambiguous term which should be avoided in blazon. Generally, two charges one of which is above the other on the field can be blazoned better as "in pale an X and a Y" or "an A and in chief a B". See atop, ensigned. ABYSS - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ACCOLLÉ - (1) two shields side-by-side, sometimes united by their bottom tips overlapping or being connected to each other by their sides; (2) an animal with a crown, collar or other item around its neck; (3) keys, weapons or other implements placed saltirewise behind the shield in a heraldic display.

  • Town Unveils New Flag & Coat of Arms
    TOWN UNVEILS NEW FLAG & COAT OF ARMS For Immediate Release December 10, 2013 Niagara-on-the-Lake - Lord Mayor, accompanied by the Right Reverend D. Ralph Spence, Albion Herald Extraordinary, officially unveiled a new town flag and coat of arms today before an audience at the Courthouse. Following the official proclamation ceremony, a procession, led by the Fort George Fife & Drum Corps and completed by an honour guard from the 809 Newark Squadron Air Cadets, witnessed the raising of the flag. The procession then continued on to St. Mark’s Church for a special service commemorating the Burning of Niagara. “We thought this was a fitting date to introduce a symbol of hope and promise given the devastation that occurred exactly 200 years to the day, the burning of our town,” stated Lord Mayor Eke. “From ashes comes rebirth and hope.” The new flag, coat of arms and badge have been granted by the Chief Herald of Canada, Dr. Claire Boudreau, Director of the Canadian Heraldic Authority within the office of the Governor General. Bishop Spence, who served as Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Niagara from 1998 - 2008, represented the Chief Herald and read the official proclamation. He is one of only four Canadians who hold the title of herald extraordinary. A description of the new coat of arms, flag and badge, known as armorial bearings in heraldry, is attached. For more information, please contact: Dave Eke, Lord Mayor 905-468-3266 Symbolism of the Armorial Bearings of The Corporation of the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake Arms: The colours refer to the Royal Union Flag.
