The coat of arms of Saskatoon is the heraldic symbol representing the city of Saskatoon.
The coat of arms was adopted on January 14 1949 when Bylaw No. 3081 was approved following the incapability of the former design adopted in 1913 to be described in proper heraldric language. [1] Therefore, it could not be approved.
Symbolism
[edit]The field (or background) of the shield is divided into two parts, the upper being green and the lower gold. This suggests the main agricultural background of Saskatoon :
- Green ‐ the growing crops ;
- Gold - the harvest.
The silver open book of learning bound in black leather, on a green field, is taken directly from the Arms of the University of Saskatchewan and marks the connection between the academic seat and the City.
The silver cogged wheel with golden wheat ear superimposed is significant of industry predominantly connected with agriculture.
The eight sets of paralleled black lines on the gold background, radiating from a hub, are symbolic of the importance of Saskatoon as a railway and distributing centre. The golden coin (or bezant) encircled by the hub is indicative of the commercial importance of the City. [2]
Blazon
[edit]The blazon is:
Per chevron vert and or, in dexter chief an open book of learning argent leathered sable, in sinister chief a cogged wheel of six spokes in saltire and fesse of the third with overall a wheat ear of the second, in base a cross and saltire voided of the last with overall an annul et of the last encircling a bezant.[1]
On a wreath of the colours a lion passant guardant or holding in his dexter paw a sprig of Saskatoon Berries (Amelanchier Alnifolia Nutt) proper.
Logo
[edit]In the form of the stylized “s” , the logo of the city represents the first letter of Saskatoon as well as the Saskatchewan River as it flows through the city.[2]
