Michaëlle Jean Governor General of Canada Born in Haiti Her family fled Haiti in 1968 Jean became the governor general of Canada in 2006 Following her installation as Governor General, Jean was granted a personal coat of arms by the Canadian Heraldic Authority, depicting her Haitian roots.

Michaëlle Jean Coat of Arms Her personal coat of arms includes words and symbols from Africa, Haiti, and Canada, the cultures that have helped shape her identity. What do you think some of the symbols and words on her coat of arms mean?

Sand dollar- a special talisman for Michaëlle Jean Sand dollar- a special talisman for Michaëlle Jean. Sand dollars are marine creatures found on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Canada and Northern United States. Royal Crown symbolizes the vice-regal function and service to all Canadians. Sea shell & broken chain from the sculpture Marron inconnu by Mangonès, in Haiti, showing an escaped slave blowing a sea shell to gather and call to arms sufferers around Haiti. For Jean this image evokes the victory of her ancestors over barbarism and, the call to liberty. An annulus inscribed with the motto of the Order of Canada, DESIDERANTES MELIOREM PATRIAM (they desire a better country), encircles the shield, Beside the shield are two Simbis, water spirits from Haitian culture who comfort souls, purify troubled waters and intervene with wisdom and foresight. The Simbis' words are enlightening and soothing. These two feminine figures symbolize the vital role of women in advancing social justice. The motto Briser les solitudes, which means "Breaking down solitudes", is at the heart of the objectives Jean intends to follow. Rock set with a palm tree, a symbol of peace in Haitian history, and a pine tree representing the natural riches of Canada. Insignia of a Companion of the Order of Canada is suspended from the shield.
