(Guidon) |
Official blazon
Badge: Upon a scroll Azure edged and inscribed SEMPER ALACER in letters Or, a stag’s head caboshed Argent, the antlers joined by two bars bearing the initials SALH Or, all below a plaque Azure edged and inscribed CANADA in letters Or and ensigned by the Royal Crown proper.
Origin/meaning
The word “CANADA” represents service to Canada, and the Crown, service to the Sovereign. The stag’s head alludes to the pronghorn stag in the badge of the 15th Light Horse. “SALH” is an abbreviation of a form of the regimental title, and “SEMPER ALACER” is the motto of the Regiment. The Motto translates as "Always brisk".
The badge was approved by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on October 4, 2004.
