HMCS QU'APPELLE, ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY

Coat of arms (crest) of the HMCS Qu'Appelle, Royal Canadian Navy

Official blazon

Azure, a bend wavy argent charged with a like bendelet gules, and over all a fox's mask argent / D'azur, à bande ondée d'argent chargé d'une bendelette ondée de gueules et brochant sur le tout une recontre de renard d'argent.


Origin/meaning

The Qu'Appelle River is named after a local legend, which tells that a Brave was paddling his canoe when he heard a voice calling. Going ashore he found nothing, and after that the River was called Who Calls or What Calls. Which the French transaltes as Qu'Appelle. The Fox is shown listening and refers to this, but also the Sonar and Radar of the Ship.
