Symbolism
The white stripes on blue allude to part of the flag of Newfoundland and Labrador, which, like this design, also contains yellow and red. The intersecting stripes symbolize the importance of family relationships, and the fact that they come together at the centre – and radiate out from it – also represents Her Honour’s devotion to public service. The blue boar is found in Irish coats of arms associated with people named Crowley, Her Honour’s maiden name. The dog paw prints symbolize Her Honour’s love of dogs, and, as a paw is an animal’s foot, it makes an allusion to her surname.
