Symbolism

Arms

The Canadian Heraldic Authority does not have confirmed symbolism for this emblem. The following comments are hypotheses only. Crescents are common in the arms of persons bearing the surname Colemore, of which Cullimore is a variation. The central band with the red and white rectangles is inspired by the yellow or white rectangular shapes on a red background that are also common in various Colemore arms. The border is a Scottish form of differencing.
