City of Regina
Coat of Arms and Flag
These heraldic symbols of Regina were presented
on September 14, 1992, by the late,
Right Honourable Ramon John Hnatyshyn,
Former Governor General of Canada and
Head of the Canadian Heraldic Authority.
COAT OF ARMS
SHIELD: Elements of the City’s original insignia, which was established in 1906, were reinterpreted
to form the shield, which is the central part of the Coat of Arms. The colours of gold and blue reflect
the prairie fields and sky. The buffalo symbolizes the original riches of the region and honours the First
Nations people. The golden wheat sheaf represents the role of agriculture in Regina’s economy.
CREST: Municipal government is represented with a traditional heraldic symbol, a mural crown
composed of stones and mortar in the City’s colours, located above the shield.
CROWN: Above the crest, a representation of the Royal Crown honours Regina as the provincial Capital
as well as the royal history of our city’s name.
SUPPORTERS: On the left is a male Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer, dressed in the uniform
of 1882, the year our city was founded. On the right is a female Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer,
dressed in a present day uniform. These supporters honour the men and women whose efforts over the
generations have helped create and sustain the city. They also symbolize and celebrate that Regina is home
to the RCMP national training centre.
MOTTO: FLOREAT REGINA, Latin for “Let Regina Flourish”, is our city’s historic motto.
FLAG
The City’s flag combines the principal colours of the shield and the Royal Crown, again honouring
Regina’s status as provincial Capital and royal history of our city’s name.
