The blue colour is associated with the waters of baptism, and with the creator in First Nations traditions. The ermine spots are taken from the arms of the [[Diocese of Rupert’s Land]], the original diocese of western Canada out of which Brandon was formed. They allude to the importance of the fur trade in the history of the region. Arranged as a cross, they indicate that the diocese is a Christian ecclesiastical jurisdiction, and the fact that the cross is made of separate elements alludes to the coming together of Christians within the diocese. | The blue colour is associated with the waters of baptism, and with the creator in First Nations traditions.
