Green represents the Army and is associated with the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals, from which the regiment originated. The waves evoke the regiment’s operations on the East Coast and its affiliation with the 36 Canadian Brigade Group, which also has waves in its badge. Blue and white are the colours of the Communications and Electronics Branch. The fist and lightning bolts represent the communication role of the Regiment and the merging of three units into one regiment. The Motto translates as “Swift, skilled, alert”. The Badge was approved on March 20, 2014.
