The Coat Of Arms of Edmonton, Alberta features a Mace at the very top (the crest) representing Edmonton as Alberta's capital. The sun emblazoned on the shield represents Edmonton's above-average amount of sunshine (it's hard for clouds to form in -30C weather). 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, a métis 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. a scroll below the arms reads "Industry - Integrity - Progress" The arms were granted on October 28, 1994. |
