Symbolism
Badge
The vine and grapes repeat the symbolism of the arms. For Mr. Vigneault, the towers symbolize the courage needed to start over, and they commemorate the efforts of his ancestor, Jacques Vigneau, to defend the Fortress of Louisbourg during the Seven Years’ War. Their number represents the great migrations, deportations and expulsions that his family has endured throughout history.
