Symbolism
Badge
The shell is a symbol of a traveller. Depicted here in Canada’s colours, it represents Captain Hay’s deployment to the mid-East as a peace-keeper in the Canadian Armed Forces. The white disc represents future unknown deployments, since the unknown cannot be seen. The swords represent the military service of Captain Hay, his grandfather, and his great-grandfather.
