English | A beaver couchant on a log environed by a wreath of maple leaves, in chief the Royal Crown proper flanked by two scrolls Argent each bearing a frieze of thistles proper, overall in base a like scroll above a scroll Gules inscribed CALGARY HIGHLANDERS in letters Argent, all surmounting a saltire Argent on a spray of thistles in base proper. |
Origin/meaning
The maple leaves and beaver represent service to Canada, and the crown, service to the Sovereign. The beaver upon a log within two sprays of maple leaves surmounted by the crown was adapted from the badge of the 10th Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force, 1914-1920. The thistles (the national flower of Scotland) and the saltire or cross of St. Andrew (the patron saint of Scotland) are common devices among badges of highland infantry regiments. “CALGARY HIGHLANDERS” is a form of the regimental title.
The Blazon of the badge was confirmed by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on September 15, 2008.
