The chevron represents the mountains near Mr. Wright’s home, while the battle axes refer to a principal charge in most of the Wright coats of arms granted by the Lord Lyon in Scotland, the homeland of Mr. Wright’s ancestors. The two eagle heads are a subtle reference to the historic emblem of the Tsars, whose coinage has long fascinated Mr. Wright, and to the eagles found widely in British Columbia.

Symbolism
The Saxon coronet is a reference to a historical period that interests Mr. Wright very much. The white horse refers to the arms of the English County of Kent, where Mrs. Wright was born. The pennant with the “Wright” battleaxes symbolizes their joint love of yachting and the fact that they met through their interest in sailing. The dogwood flowers represent Mr. Wright’s home province.
