• the lion of England holding the Royal Union Flag and the unicorn of Scotland carrying the flag of Royal France;
• the floral emblems of the four founding nations: the English rose, the Scottish thistle, the French fleur-de-lis, and the Irish shamrock;
• the Royal Crown at the top, indicating that these are the Arms of Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada, commonly called the “Canada Coat of Arms”, the “Coat of Arms of Canada”, the “Arms of Canada” or the “Royal Coat of Arms of Canada”.

Latin mottos:
• Desiderantes Meliorem Patriam: meaning "They desire a better country". The phrase is taken from Hebrews 11:16.
• A Mari Usque Ad Mare: the motto of the Dominion of Canada, officially translated as “From Sea to Sea” and “D’un océan à l’autre ”. The phrase comes from the Latin translation of Psalm 72:8 in the Bible.
