Badge
The tower symbolizes strength and efficiency in architecture, engineering, planning, construction and technology, the Group’s main areas of activity. The latticework not only represents the infrastructure and networks built and maintained by the Group but also the highly specialized and diversified teams behind that work. The blue and red colours are emblematic of the Canadian Military Engineers, whose work is fundamental within the Group and in support of the mission of the Canadian Armed Forces.
