Coat of arms Montreal - Montreal, QC - Coats of Arms on Waymarking.com

The first coat of arms of Montreal was designed by Jacques Viger, the city's first mayor, and adopted in 1833 by the city councillors.
Modifications were made some one hundred five years later and adopted on 21 March 1938, resulting in the version currently in use. The coat of arms was the only city emblem representing Montreal until 1981, when a stylized logo was developed for common daily use, reserving the coat of arms for ceremonial events and occasions.

The blazon of the shield in the first coat of arms was as follows: Argent, a saltire gules between in chief a rose of the last leaved and slipped, in base a beaver to the dexter with a branch, and in fess a thistle leaved and slipped and a sprig of shamrock proper.[2] The scroll and motto below the shield read Concordia Salus, a Latin phrase translated as "salvation through harmony".
