Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on May 26, 1868, modified on December 7, 1939 and re-granted on October 15, 2010.
The arms from 1868
The three fleur-de-lis in the chief represent France (the founding country of the province), the lion represents Britain (the conquering country of Quebec), while the green maple leaves represent Canada.
The motto translates as "I remember" The original coat of arms had two blue fleur-de-lis on gold, since the gold lilies on blue would have (at the time) been too reminiscent of the similar quarter on the old British coat of arms (which represented Britain's claim to the throne of France, and was only removed in 1801).
