The Canadian Heraldic Authority does not have confirmed symbolism for this emblem. The following comments are hypotheses only. This design is based on arms used by an American branch of the Leggett family. The red lion, found in the arms of the Macdonald of Sleat branch of Clan Donald, may represent Mr. Leggett’s Macdonald ancestors. The border and ring are Scottish methods of differencing.
