Symbolism
Arms
The red represents the idea of sacrifice made by Mr. Casavant in his military service, and blue symbolizes water and thus his new occupation as a diver. The eagle is a symbol of protecting power. The sword evokes Mr. Casavant’s time serving Canada in the military, and the broken rod symbolizes the fight against terrorism during that service. As well, the sword and rod allude to his mother’s surname of Taillefer, meaning “cutting iron”.
Crest
The goblet alludes to the glassware that was used in Mr. Casavant’s family home, and the blue and red colours allude to the family’s origins in Gascony, whose flag is quartered with blue and red.
