Symbolism
Crest
The deer and rocky ground refer to Archdeacon Berryman's love of northern Ontario and of hunting the white tail deer. The rock promontory also recalls the Niagara escarpment in the Hamilton area. The feather represents his many years as a communicator of the Christian faith through various media. Red is the traditional colour of theology.
