Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on April 24, 1997.

The wavy blue chief alludes to overseas trading and the fish represent the Fishing Resources companies in the Weston Group. The garbs of wheat represent the two Weston Baking companies. Gold symbolizes the land and green the forests of the Weston pulp and paper companies. The sugar cone is an allusion to the grocery or food distribution business. The eagles are an emblem associated with the name Weston.

The beaver is an allusion to industrious endeavour, while the cornucopia is representative of sound finance.

The symbolism of this emblem is found in other element(s) of this record.

The motto means “Let the taste prove.”
