The City of Ottawa Coat of Arms was granted by the College of Arms in London, England in 1954. Designed by Allan Beddoe, a technical advisor on Heraldry to the Department of National Defence, each element on the Arms represents an intrinsic quality of the Ottawa community. Winning a City of Ottawa Public Art Program competition in 1986, Guy Pierre carved the Coat of Arms in high-relief from solid pine. Pierre was born in 1956 in Noranda, Quebec and received his education in furniture techniques in Victoriaville, wood carving in St-Jean Port Joli and clay sculpture and anatomy in Ottawa.

Les armoiries de la ville d’Ottawa ont été attribuées par le College of Arms de Londres (Angleterre) en 1954. Conçues par Allan Beddoe, un conseiller en emblème héraldiques du ministère de la Défence nationale, les armoiries comprennent des éléments qui chacun représentent un aspect intrinsèque de la collectivité. Ayant gagné un concours lancé par le programme d’art publique de la Ville d’Ottawa en 1986, Guy Pierre a sculpté les armoiries en haut-relief dans du pin massif. Né en 1956 à Noranda (Québec), Guy Pierre a étudié à l’École québécoise du meuble et du bois ouvré à Victoriaville, puis la sculpture sur bois à Saint-Jean-Port-Joli et la sculpture de glaise et l’anatomie à Ottawa.
