Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on July 15, 2008.
The disc and laurel leaves represent Laurel Point, the location of the company’s renowned Inn in Victoria, British Columbia. The earl’s coronet alludes to the stylized coronet symbol in current use, and historically, to the name “Sussex Café,” the first name of the company. The Earl of Sussex was a historic English title.
The crest represents the idea of a potlatch. The chief is welcoming those to whom he intends to distribute gifts, and the design symbolizes a place that welcomes people.
Each supporter is a delgryphus, a combination of griffin (eagle and lion) with a tail of a member of the family delphinidae, in this case an orca’s tail. Styled by Tony Hunt, Chief Naquapenkim, Hereditary Chief of the Kwakwaka'wakw Nation, these creatures represent the ways that guests at the Inn at Laurel Point can arrive at the location at Victoria’s Inner Harbour.
The rock and waves represent the promontory on which the Inn sits. The colours of the waves also allude to the Greek ancestry of Paul Arsen, the original owner.
The motto shows the core values of the company.
