The blue disk symbolizes the earth, while the four trefoils represent open hands, thus referring to Mr. Choquette’s second career as a human resources manager. The blue disk also symbolizes his studies in geography, while the trefoils honour his maternal grandmother, who was of Irish descent. The heart represents love and service to others and symbolizes Mr. Choquette’s many years of volunteerism for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and for St. John Ambulance.
