The badge is loosely based that of the former Commander Canadian Fleet (now serving as the MARLANT badge). The centre disc shows the cross of St. George, which was employed in the Royal Canadian Navy on flag officers' flags. It thus denotes command over the area. The alternating wavy bands of blue and white symbolize Pacific coastal waters, and rising above them are the green coastal mountains, their upper edges touched with snow. Above the mountains is the sky, in light blue. | |||
The Badge was approved by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on October 1, 2001. | |||
