The crown represents service to the Sovereign. The shield includes several symbols of Nova Scotia. The saltire or cross of St. Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland, refers to the province’s Scottish heritage; the mayflower is the province’s floral emblem; the schooner, inspired by the famous Bluenose, symbolizes the seafaring communities of the South shore, and the church represents the memorial church at Grand-Pré and thus the Annapolis Valley in general and the province’s Acadian heritage. “WEST NOVA SCOTIA REGIMENT” is a form of the regimental title and “SEMPER FIDELIS” is the motto of the regiment. The Motto translates as “Always faithful”. | The crown represents service to the Sovereign. The shield includes several symbols of Nova Scotia.
