| Motto | Unité, Progrès, Grandeur |
The Blason of Laval is the heraldic symbol representing the Canadian city of Laval.
It is inspired by the one belonging to Monseigneur François de Montmorency-Laval, Canada’s first bishop. [1]
Symbolism
[edit]The motto “Unité, Progrès, Grandeur” identifies the steps in the rising development of the Laval city. The scallops of the cross represent the five pioneer parishes of the island, and the eaglets, aligned in fours, represent all the 16 municipalities inhabited by the islanders up until 1961. [2]
Blazon
[edit]The blazon is :
D'argent à la croix de gueules, chargée de cinq coquilles d'or cantonnée de seize alérions d'azur [3]
In English, this roughly translates to :
Argent a cross gules, charged with five golden shells, cantoned with sixteen azure alerions
