Arms : Azure, an ibex proper, armed and unguled Or, perched upon the point of a cornucopia gold. |
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on June 10, 1958.
The arms depict an Ibex (Mountain Goat) perched upon a Cornucopia. The symbolism was designed to depict 'balance' (the Ibex) in the 'time of plenty' (the Cornucopia). This underlines the philosophy of good nutrition: that, while we enjoy a relative wealth of food and nutrition, we need to balance this according to our needs.
