Black and white are the colours of the flag of Cornwall in England and thus recall Archdeacon Berryman's Cornish heritage. The red and white and the maple leaves indicate his Canadian origins and pride in his country. The form of the cross is associated with firefighting services in North America, and it indicates that Archdeacon Berryman's grandfather was a firefighter and that both he and his son have served as volunteer firefighters. Archdeacon Berryman is currently chaplain to a firefighters' association, and he has been awarded the Fire Services Exemplary Service Medal. The cross is also a reflection of his Christian faith, priestly vocation, and service in the church. The red "cinquefoil" at the centre is a reference to his birthplace of Hamilton, Ontario.

Upon a rocky promontory Argent, a white-tailed deer trippant proper supporting with the dexter foreleg a feather Gules penned Argent;

The deer and rocky ground refer to Archdeacon Berryman's love of northern Ontario and of hunting the white tail deer. The rock promontory also recalls the Niagara escarpment in the Hamilton area. The feather represents his many years as a communicator of the Christian faith through various media. Red is the traditional colour of theology.
