Report #:
By-law #
Subject:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration
Committee recommend to Council the following: .
1. THAT Report CD-24-99 be received for information; and
2. THAT the Municipal Clerk be authorized to proceed with the process of registering
the Municipality of Clarington's Coat of Arms with the Chief Heraldic of Canada.
1. BACKGROUND
At a meeting held early in 1999 correspondence was received from Walter Borosa of
C & B Associates which advised that many municipalities, corporations, associates
and individuals across Canada are petitioning the Canadian Heraldic Authority to
develop or to register their existing Coat of Arms as a millenium project. Because the
Municipality of Clarington presently has a Coat of Arms, a simple registration process
would be undertaken. Upon registration, a document taking the form of a registration
text produced by machine on a sheet of pre-printed stock 56 cm (22") high and 38 cm
(15") wide with our an armorial headings in colour is prepared. The resulting Letters
Patent are issued to the petitioner (the Municipality of Clarington) and the arms are
entered in the Public Register of Arms, Flags and Badges of Canada. The registration
is announced in the Canada Gazette.
Other municipalities within the Region of Durham which have shown interest in this
process are the Town of Ajax, the Town of Whitby and the Township of Uxbridge.

In discussing this process with Mr. Borosa, staff have been advised that the time frame
for completion will be two or three months as a Coat of Arms already exists.
2. RECOMMENDATION
As the municipality's Coat of Arms has not previously been registered, it is
respectfully recommended that authorization be given for the Municipal Clerk to
proceed with the registration process.
