Symbolism

The Canadian Heraldic Authority does not have confirmed symbolism for this emblem. The following comments are hypotheses only. The white shield with a blue stripe, two red stars and a red lion are elements often found in Macrae arms. The beavers allude to Mr. Macrae’s Canadian identity. The yellow border in Scottish heraldry indicates descent from a second son. The label indicates that Mr. Macrae is the heir to these arms.
