Symbolism
Arms
The red colour and the maple leaf represent Canada. Together, the balance, a symbol of justice, and the sword, a military symbol, embody the nature of the Court. The Royal Crown refers to the importance of the Court at the federal level and to its judicial service under the sovereign’s authority.
Motto
This Latin phrase means “We will deny justice to no one.” It is derived from clause 40 of the Magna Carta (1215).
