The
original
design concept
by the armiger
in cooperation
with Samy
Khalid,
Saguenay
Herald,
assisted by
the Heralds of
the Canadian
Heraldic
Authority.
Painter: Debra
MacGarvie
Calligrapher:
Doris Wionzek
The
standard
combines the
emblems
granted to the
armiger in
March 2000.
The standard
bearer,
exemplified by
the Canadian
Heraldic
Authority,
symbolises and
therefore
represents the
armiger’s
ancestor
Gilles Bourée,
dressed in the
colours of the
flag of the
Régiment de
Carignan to
which he
belonged. The
base alludes
to
Charlesbourg,
near Quebec
City, a region
known for
wheat growing
and its elm
trees, where
he settled in
the 17th
century.
The symbolism
of the pennon
echoes that of
the Arms. The
lion,
exemplified by
the Canadian
Heraldic
Authority,
symbolises and
recalls the
Arms of
Normandy, and
its crown
alludes to
Royal France.
The
compartment
represents the
Island of
Montreal, the
armiger’s
birthplace, on
the shores of
the St.
Lawrence
River.
|
For
the badge, the
bundle of sticks
(bourrée in
French) honours
Gilles Bourée, the
armiger’s Norman
ancestor and the
first in the
family in Canada.
The axe is a pun
on the name of
this ancestor’s
wife, Marie de
Bellehache
(composed of the
French words
belle,
‘’beautiful’’, and
hache, ‘’axe’’).
The red colour of
the axe is from
the arms of
Normandy, their
home province. The
ring with
fleurs-de-lis
represents a crown
and embodies the
armiger’s love for
the ancient
Kingdom of France,
the country of his
forebears, as well
as his passion for
genealogy.
