Origin/meaning
There is no record of the reason for the Regiment's choice of elements for the badge. The Royal Crown is a clear reference to service to the Crown. The antelope represents the natural splendour of the prairies. As well, the antelope's swiftness may symbolize the Regiment's speed and determination in battle.
The badge was approved by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on March 15, 2004. Literature:Images from https://www.canada.ca/en/services/defence/caf/military-identity-system/
