Geocache Description:


Name the Golden Horseshoe City represented by these Coat of Arms


On the shield is a beaver, a symbol of Canada that was adopted as the main emblem for the Town’s corporate seal by the Town Council in 1850. The maple leaf crest is the traditional symbol of Canada, and is made distinctive with the addition of the heraldic symbol for civic government, the mural coronet. The Supporters represent the twin streams of human heritage and endeavour in the region: The First Peoples and the Europeans. The Mohawk Indian is shown in typical dress of the period 1784, the date when the Six Nations were granted lands along the Grand River. He carries a historic symbol of peace, respect and friendship between the British government of the day and the Iroquoian Confederacy, the Gus-wen-tah wampum belt. The pioneer logger is shown in the working dress of the period when the village was first growing up. He represents all the early European settlers who developed and shaped the young community. The supporters share a single compartment, a symbol of the rich agricultural lands lying on either side of the River. The grass is strewn with daffodils, which was declared by City Council in 1919 to be the City’s floral emblem. The motto “Industry and Perseverance” was adopted as the motto of the Corporation in 1850.
