Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted to the then District of Pitt Meadows on March 15, 2004 and to the city on June 20, 2008.
The colours purple and gold are those currently used by Pitt Meadows in its heron emblem. The band running parallel to the edge of the shield represents the dykes which protect a considerable part of the lands of the municipality. The crenellated outer edge can also represent gearwheels and refer to the historic Hoffman garage. The horizontal bands symbolize the CP railway line around which the District grew and which is still at the centre of Pitt Meadows' most populated sector.
The coronet represents Golden Ears, the dramatic peaks to the north of the District. The white drops, symbolizing milk, recall the early dairy industry. The Katzie eagle symbol honours the original inhabitants of the land. It can also refer to the growing significance of recreational aviation.
The heron refers to the District's current logo and honours the rich riverside wildlife of the District, as does the sandhill crane. Their collars symbolize Pitt Meadows as a British Columbian and Canadian community. The blueberry and cranberry sprigs represent two important agricultural products of the district. The wavy bars at the base of the mound refer to the Fraser and Pitt Rivers. The earth mound symbolizes the District's lands, especially the dykes that protect them.
