Ottawa Coat of Arms - Armoiries de la ville d'Ottawa - Ottawa, Ontario - Relief Art Sculptures on Waymarking.com

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.
