Geocache Description:


Name the Golden Horseshoe Region represented by this Coat of Arms


The arms were granted on October 21, 1995. The green field represents the rich agricultural lands and parks of the region. The blue and white band refers to two natural phenomena that have established this region with rich economic, topographical and historical importance. The chevrons are a reference to locks, and they further indicate the twelve constituent municipalities amalgamated in 1970. The gold lines symbolize the various elements that contribute to the region’s wealth, based on the escarpment’s natural legacy. The Royal Crown honours the first Parliament in Ontario at Newark. The river lion symbolizes the unique spirit and heritage of the region. It grasps a calumet, or native ceremonial pipe, in honour of the Neutral Nations and Iroquoian Loyalists who were the original inhabitants of the region. The falling water is a reference to a Falls. The lion and eagle are based on the personal arms of Major General Sir Isaac Brock, a hero of the Battle of Queenston Heights and the War of 1812. The Loyalist civil and military coronets worn by the lion and eagle make them distinctive to the region and recall its historical importance in the survival and development of Canada. The anchor symbolizes the shipping industry associated with its lakes. The cornucopia alludes to the agricultural wealth of the region, displaying certain products that are unique to Ontario. The supporters stand on a grassy mound representing the many sources of vegetation growing throughout the regional municipality. The motto was chosen by the 25th Anniversary Celebration Committee.
