Symbolism
Badge
The Royal Crown and the Royal Monogram CIIIR (“Charles III Rex”, the latter word meaning “king” in Latin) are personal emblems of The King. The triangles evoke a string of pennants, appropriate for a celebratory occasion. Their number represents the thirteen provinces and territories of Canada. Green is a colour associated with the environment, a longstanding interest of His Majesty’s, and it also conveys the idea of growth and hope. Their arrangement in a circle symbolizes inclusion. The white spaces form pathways leading to a central gathering place; they also create the image of a sunburst, symbolic of new ideas and innovation.
