Symbolism:

Symbolism Text:

Arms: Blue symbolizes the Ottawa River and its tributaries that give life to the lands in the Ottawa Valley, where Mr. Brazeau’s family has lived for generations. Gold alludes to the agricultural heritage of both sides of his family and that of his spouse’s. White, which combines all hues of the visible light spectrum, embodies for him the totality of life’s experiences. The double-headed eagle represents Mr. Brazeau’s belief in looking to both the past and the future in order to “take flight” and achieve great things. The three stars stand for his family’s past, present and future, marking the passing generations with their struggles and successes.

Crest: The wolf represents the many beloved pet dogs Mr. Brazeau has adopted through the years. Its watchful attitude alludes to dogs’ role in protecting the family, and its forward-looking position expresses the importance of facing obstacles head-on. Its wings elevate it to a higher sphere, thus representing the reward that awaits those who conduct themselves in a worthy manner. The coronet refers to the honour, requirements and responsibilities of public service, its maple leaves highlighting Mr. Brazeau’s career within Canada’s federal public service.

Motto: Meaning “He elevates himself who perseveres,” this Latin phrase speaks to the challenges faced by Mr. Brazeau and his ancestors, and how each generation has overcome them. With this motto, Mr. Brazeau encourages his own descendants to press onwards through adversity with tenacity.
