Symbolism
Arms
The upper part of the shield celebrates Mr. Logan’s long and extensive involvement with air cadets, with the falcon modelled on the badge of the Air Cadet League of Canada. The ermine field is found in arms associated with the English Barnaby family and thus honours the family of Mr. Logan’s wife. The blue half of the lion alludes to the arms of the Duke of Edinburgh, while the gold half is taken from the traditional arms of Hickey, referring to Mr. Logan’s maternal heritage. The reference to the Duke of Edinburgh symbolizes Mr. Logan’s involvement over a long period of time in the Duke of Edinburgh Awards programme. The mace recognizes Mr. Logan’s service as Mace Bearer of the Senate of Canada.
Crest
The crest represents Mr. Logan’s paternal heritage through the use of the central element of the arms associated with Scottish armigers with the name Logan. The two arms symbolize his obligation to protect the honour of his family while striving to meet important goals.
