Symbolism
Arms
A symbol of exploration and liberty, an open wing embodies our desire to reach higher and expand our horizons. As with birds protecting their young, the wing also conveys the strength and safety of family ties. Moreover, it represents the career of Mr. Payette-Flynn’s mother, Julie Payette, as an aviator and astronaut. The Royal Crown symbolizes Ms. Payette’s viceregal office and service to all Canadians.
Added to the shield as a temporary difference and set with laurel (laurier in French) leaves, the label indicates that Laurier Payette-Flynn is the heraldic heir of his mother.
