The pall refers to the arms of the college’s namesake, the [[Diocese of Canterbury]], in England. The swords, an attribute of Saint Paul, appear on the arms of the Anglican [[Diocese of Huron]], whose cathedral is dedicated to the saint; they identify the College’s affiliation with the Diocese. The rose is an emblem of Windsor, nicknamed the “city of roses”. The winged fleur-de-lis appears on the coats of arms of [[Assumption University]], with which Canterbury College affiliated in 1957, and of the [[University of Windsor]], with which both Assumption University and Canterbury College are now affiliated. Together, the fleur-de-lis and the rose represent the bilingual and bicultural heritage of the Windsor area.
