Origin/meaning

The maple leaf and beaver represent service to Canada, and the crown, service to the Sovereign. The grenade alludes to the original role of fusiliers, who were soldiers specially equipped to escort artillery trains. Gold indicates the badge’s origins as a metal cap badge. Scarlet is the traditional colour of the army. “LES FUSILIERS DE SHERBROOKE” is the regimental title and “DROIT AU BUT” is the motto of the regiment. The Motto translates as “To the point”.

The Blazon of the badge was confirmed by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on August 15, 2008.
