The canoe was used as a historical means of transportation and supply in the areas of eastern and northern Ontario in which the battalion is located. The motto was that of the 28 Service Battalion. The Motto translates as “Duty above all”.

The badge was approved by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on February 15, 2016.
