The maple leaf and scroll bearing the word “CANADA” represent service to Canada, and the Crown, service to the Sovereign. The belt, with motto, is the insignia of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. “ROYAL MONTREAL REGT” is a form of the regimental title and “HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE” is the motto of the Regiment. The Motto translates as “Shame on him who thinks ill of it”.

The Blazon of the Badge was confirmed by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on April 15, 2008.
