Motto: AIM HIGH
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on December 15, 2014.
The black field represents the petroleum wealth that contributed to the development and prosperity of High Level. The wheat stalks, poplar aspen leaves and spruce cones symbolize the region’s forests and meadows, as well as forestry and agriculture, which are the staples of the traditional economy. The wheat stalks are placed in an X shape as a reminder that the town is located at a crossroads.
The mural crown represents the municipal authority of High Level. The black drops and blue flames represent oil and gas discoveries of nearby Rainbow Lake, Virgo and Zama Fields as well as their importance to the modern economy of the town. The raven, regarded in Aboriginal culture as a creature of metamorphosis, is a common inhabitant of the area and a strong testament to the enduring Aboriginal presence associated with Tloc-Moi, now known as High Level.
The moose and white-tailed deer represent the abundant natural wildlife and recreational splendour of High Level and surrounding area. The wild rose is the floral emblem of Alberta, and it is shown with other wildflowers present in northern Alberta.
This play on words based on the name of the town invites citizens and industries to consider the town as a destination for living and investing, while encouraging residents to reach for higher goals. Badge
Taking the shape of a lure, which is used in falconry to train young raptors, this design combines raven wings, alluding to continued change, and a wheat stalk, acknowledging that High Level is one of the northernmost agricultural towns in Canada.
