Badge

The blue quills represent Mr. Nayyar’s home province, British Columbia, as the Steller’s jay is the provincial bird. The tiger is taken from the emblem used by his family in India and commemorates the story of his great-grandfather who survived a tiger attack. The horn repeats the symbolism of the Crest.
