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. | |||
