Coat of arms of New Brunswick


The original coat of arms of New Brunswick was granted to New Brunswick by a Royal Warrant of Queen Victoria on May 26, 1868. The provincial flag is a banner of the arms.

History

The original coat of arms, consisting solely of the shield, was based on the design of the Great Seal of New Brunswick, which featured a sailing ship.
The achievement of arms was augmented with crest and motto by an Order in Council of then-Lieutenant Governor John Babbitt McNair in 1966. The supporters and compartment were added by Royal Warrant of Queen Elizabeth II on 24 September 1984, and presented to the province in a public ceremony in Fredericton the following day to mark the province's bicentennial.
