4 Montreal Montreal’s Coat of Arms is: Form of shield - Following the example of the Province of Québec, the City of Montreal, whose history and beginnings are identical with it, has adopted the French form of shield. The field: is silver to recall the old Coat of Arms which had been composed by the first mayor of Montreal, Jacques Viger. Heraldic cross - is symbol of the Christian motives and principles which governed the founders of the city.

5 Montreal The fleur de lys, of the Royal House of Bourbon. This is shown in the first quarter of the shield and represents the French settlers who were the first to possess the soil of the island of Montreal The Lancastrian rose which occupies the second quarter. It stands for the English component of the city's population. The thistle, which is shown in the third quarter to represent those of Scottish descent. In the fourth quarter is the Irish shamrock, likewise indicative of the fact that many of Montreal's early settlers and their descendants are of Irish blood. The device on the scroll - The motto "CONCORDIA SALUS", salvation through harmony, is inscribed on the scroll below the crest. This arrangement is also the same as on the Province of Québec arms. The maple leaves - Montreal's coat of arms, like that of Québec, is surrounded by a wreath of maple leaves. They are the leaves of the sugar maple (Acer saccharin) and they symbolize the amicable relations between the various elements of the city's population. The beaver - Mounted over the shield is a beaver representing the industriousness of Montreal who have worked to develop our city. The City of Montreal flag The city of Montreal flag was first displayed in May 1939. The flag is blazoned with the same heraldic symbols as those of the coat of arms: the heraldic cross gules against a white background and a quartered field with four floral emblems. The flag is twice as broad as it is long. The City of Montreal logo The city of Montreal adopted its official logo and visual identification program in 1981. The logo was created to show the city's dynamism and to promote communic ation with Montreal as well as its image on the national and internation al scenes. The emblem, which takes its inspiration from the city's coat of arms, is a minimalist logo that is shaped like a flower, in which each petal forms the letters V and M, the initials for "Ville de Montreal". The intersectin g lines at the center of the logo symbolizes the city's vocation as a crossroads of communic ation and civilization. The four heart- shaped petals signify the deep attachment Montreal have to their city. An undulating line encircles the whole, representin g the island, while the intertwinin g of plant and aquatic symbolism expresses the wealth of Montreal's natural environme nt and the care Montreal take to preserve it. White and red have been chosen as Montreal's official colours, confirming their use in city emblems for the last 150 years. Françoi s The fleur de lys, of the Royal House of Bourbon.
