MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON'S COAT OF ARMS
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended:
1. THAT Report CD-41-01 be received for information.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
In July 1999, Council authorized the Municipal Clerk to proceed with the process
of registering the Municipality's Coat of Arms with the Chief Herald of Canada.
With the adoption of Report CD-27-00 in June 2000, Council approved a
modification of the Coat of Arms by adding a collar to the white horses, such
collar to include a trillium and an apple blossom. The reason for the modification
is that the white horses have already been granted. In Heraldry, two
corporations or two persons cannot be granted precisely the same symbol, as
one of the main purposes of Heraldry is to distinguish one grantee or corporation
from another. It was necessary as well for some restyling of the elements in the
official colour painting,
The new Coat of Arms has been received and a copy is attached hereto for
Council's information.
Respectfully submitted,
