Canadian Civic Heraldry

EDMONTON

Province : Alberta

Origin/meaning:
The arms were granted on October 28, 1994.
The City of Edmonton Coat of Arms features a mace representing Edmonton as Alberta's capital. The sun emblazoned on the shield represents Edmonton's above-average amount of sunshine. The city's importance as an aviation and industrial centre is illustrated by a winged wheel. A wavy ribbon symbolises the North Saskatchewan River and a sheaf symbolises agriculture. On the left, an explorer, a reminder of the city's fur trading past, looks to the future. On the right, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, represents education and the University of Alberta.
