Coat of arms of Victoria, British Columbia : ウィキペディア英語版 | Coat of arms of Victoria, British Columbia
The coat of arms of the city of Victoria was granted in 1962, and then subsequently registered with the Canadian Heraldic Authority in 2005. While the city employs a logo for common use, the arms are reserved for legal documents and for more historical or traditional purposes and events. ==History==
Initially granted in 1962 by the College of Arms in London, as Canada fell under the purview of the English heralds at that time, the coat of arms of Victoria was later registered with the Canadian Heraldic Authority in 2005.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Public Register of Arms, Flags and Badges of Canada )〕 The design of the shield consists of two piles, one atop the other, that gives the appearance of a white “V” separating the shield into red and blue segments, creating a cypher for the city's namesake and a representation of the peninsula where the city is located and juts into the blue sea. A Royal Crown is placed on the red pile as another allusion to Queen Victoria, for whom the city is named. There is no torse or mantling mentioned in the Canadian registry, yet mantling is depicted in the London grant as red and gold. A mural crown, a common symbol found in municipal arms, is mentioned in the blazon of the crest, which shows a dove descending from and about the rays of the Eye of Providence, emblems of peace and bounty. Two winged figures, said to personify Colony and Civilization, support the arms, standing upon a compartment of clouds and wavy bars of white and blue, a heraldic depiction of water.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Overview of the City’s Official Symbols )〕
