CANADIAN FORCES BASE CHILLIWACK, CANADA
English | blazon wanted |
Argent, a hurt charged in base with two bars wavy argent from which a mountain range divided pily argent and vert. The whole edged by a cogged wheel or.
Origin/meaning
This badge with its mountain range, heraldic depiction of trees and the bars wavy symbolising the mighty Fraser River aptly indicates CFB Chilliwack's location. The ruggedness associated with this type of terrain may be compared to the obstacles and barriers often met during a course of action, but which must be overcome in order to achieve a goal or aim. This sentiment is suitably expressed by their motto and is indicative of their aim to forever provide effective support. The cogged wheel is emblematic of the military engineers and their long association with Chilliwack.
Literature: Sent by the Canadian Embassy in Oslo.
