HMCS OTTAWA, ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY

Coat of arms (crest) of the HMCS Ottawa, Royal Canadian Navy

Official blazon

Badge: Gules a bend wavy Argent charged with two bendlets wavy Azure surmounted by a beaver couchant Or its sinister forepaw resting on a log of silver birch proper.
Motto: EGOR BEOFOR.

Origin/meaning

The beaver on a log of wood is taken from the unofficial pre-war and war-time badge of HMCS Ottawa. The white and blue wavy bend represents the Ottawa River after which the ship is named. The red field is a reference to the Aboriginal Outaouais people, “redskin” being a term in common use when the badge was first designed. The Motto translate as “Sea Beaver”.

The Balzon of the Badge was confirmed by The Canadian Heraldic Authority on December 15, 2008.
