LONGUEUIL
Province : Quebec
Official blazon
Arms : Azure three roses Or, on a chief Gules a crescent between two mullets Or.
Crest: Issuant from a mural crown Or, a demi aboriginal man affronté proper holding in his dexter hand an arrow Sable.
Supporters: Two aboriginal men proper, each habited of a loincloth Gules, holding an arrow Sable and standing on a grassy mound Vert.
Motto: LABOR ET CONCORDIA
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on May 10, 2004.
The full achievement of arms, with a crest and Native American supporters, are those of Charles Le Moyne (1626-1685), the founder of Longueuil who was ennobled in 1668 and whose son and namesake was created a baron in 1700 by Louis XIV.
In 2002, Raymond Grant, a descendant of the Le Moyne family through the female line and Baron of Longueuil, expressed his concurrence with the proposal that the Ville de Longueuil wished to be officially granted the historical arms of Charles Le Moyne.
In the depiction of the arms, the three symbols in chief (the crescent and the two stars) are coloured gold (yellow). Since the letters of nobility of 1668 have been lost, the city based its choice on a historical document of the 18th century recording the blazon of the arms.
The motto meaning "Work and concord", has been used by the Ville de Longueuil for several decades.
