Origin/meaning

The eagle, sleeved arm with the dagger and the crossed cavalry swords came from the badge of the 6th Duke of Connaught’s Royal Canadian Hussars where, originally, the eagle and arm came from the arms of the Irish province of Connaught and the swords represented the cavalry role of the unit. The white rose came from the badge of the 17th Duke of York’s Royal Canadian Hussars. It was originally the badge of the Royal House of York. “ROYAL CANADIAN HUSSARS” is a form of the regimental title. The Motto translate as “Not for ourselves but for our country”.

The badge was approved by the Canadian Heraldic Authority as October 4, 2004.
