Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on September 5, 1992.
The arms show a bison for the prairies and wildlife, and a bunch of wheat for the importance of the agriculture in the area.The supporters, and the shield, rest on a grassy mound which represents the parks and many green spaces of Regina. On the left is a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer - a man in the uniform of 1882, the year of the city's foundation. On the right, is a woman in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police uniform of the present day. Municipal government is represented using the traditional heraldic symbol, a mural crown, composed of stones and mortar in the City's colours. Above this, honouring Regina's being named for Queen Victoria and its status as provincial capital, is a representation of the Royal Crown. This was granted to the City as a special honour by Her Majesty as Queen of Canada on the recommendation of His Excellency the Governor General.
The City's historic motto is continued in the grant of arms. The Latin is translated as "Let Regina Flourish."
