THE SHIELD There are three central elements In the design. The Martello Tower is a unique, outstanding feature of Kingston's wateliron! and has symbolized the City for over 150 years. It symbolizes strength and firmness of resolve. Also, it rep resents Kingston's extensive military connections and its lengthy historical development. Above the Martello Tower are three golden Antique Crowns representing the three partner municipalities (the fonner Township of Kingston, the former City of Kingston and the former Township of Pittsburgh) which combined in 1998 to form the new City of Kingston. The antique crown is the traditional heraldic symbol for municipal corporations. The Blue and White Waves represent the confluence of three bodies of water in Kingston: Lake Ontario, SI. Lawrence River and the Cataraqui River/Rideau Canal system. The red background depicts the national colour of Canada.

THE CREST The Crest (the area above the shield) refers to the name of Cataraqui, one of Kingston's early names, and it is derived from the aboriginal word meaning "rocks rising from the water". It refers to the limestone fortifications and buildings which are a prominent feature of Kingston's past and present, rising as they appear to do from the water. The Beaver symbolizes the fu r trade that was the paramount reason for the founding of a settlement in the seventeenth century, which eventually became the Ci ty of Kingston. The Beaver is situated on a limestone rock thai rises from the bodies of water that surround Kingston. The bodies of water are symbolized by Btue and White wavy bands. The red on the mantling symbolizes Canada's national colour.

SUPPORTERS Tile Shield is supported on the left by a Griffin commemorating Count Frontenac and the French foundation of the City of Kingston. Count Frontenac used two of these mythical animals as Supporters in his Coat of Arms. On the right, the lion represents Kingston's early British origins and is derived from the Coat of Arms of Canada. Also, it refers to the fa ct that for a short period in the mid-nineteenth century, Kingston was the seat of government of the United Provinces of Canada. The collar of Maple leaves around the neck of each Supporter represents Canada and the rural aspects of the City of Kingston

MOTTO SCROLL The outer edge of the Scroll and the words of the motto are depicted in gold referring to golden fields of crops, thus symbolizing the rural aspects of the City of Kingston. The blue band of the Scroll represents the bodies of water bordering the City of Kingston and it symbolizes the naval, shipbuilding, shipping and recreational sailing elements of Kingston's history.

MOTTO ANTIQUITATE CIVILITA TE HUMANITATE: This motto may be freely translaled as 'A CIVIL AND CREATIVE COMMUNITY WITH A PROUD PAST'.

FLAG According to the classic ru les of heraldry, the city's new Flag combines the principal colours and key elements of the Shield reshaped to serve as a banner. The three antique crowns are arranged to renect the geographical arrangement of the three former municipalities thai combined to form the City of Kingston.

BADGE The Badge consists of the Martello Tower from the Shield surrounded by a cIrcle of interconnected Maple leaves, with a red background symbolizing Canada's national colour.

And around the outer edge of the face of the seal the words "THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF KINGSTON" and "ONTARIO"
