Coat of arms of Manitoba

The coat of arms of Manitoba was the Canadian province of Manitoba on May 10, 1905, King Edward VII awarded ( Escutcheon only ). The other elements have been added on October 23, 1992 after a decree of Governor General Ray Hnatyshyn.

On the shield a bison is shown on a green background, standing on a rock. In the white chief with the red cross of St. George as a symbol of England.

The golden helmet over the shield is a symbol of the sovereignty of Manitoba within the Canadian Confederation. Mantling and Helmwulst are both in red and white, the national colors of Canada. Crest is a beaver, who holds in his right paw a Pasque Flower (Anemone patens ), the official flower of the province. On his back he wears the crown Edwards.

Supporters are right a gold- armored white unicorn and the other side a gold- reinforced mold. The unicorn wears around his neck a green- white mural crown on which a green cart-wheel is fixed ( symbol of the Red River Colony ). Around the neck of the mold depends on an Indian wicker; in this a green amulet is attached, which symbolizes the circle of life.

The pedestal is in three parts and the right shows a golden wheat field, in the center a meadow with cowbells and left a coniferous forest with white spruce. Amidst all white and blue waves, under it there is a golden banner with the motto of the province in red capital letters: Gloriosus et Liber ( " Glorious and free" ), the Latin translation of a line of the English text of the national anthem O Canada.
