 ===Official blazon===
+Gules a unicorn rampant Argent armed, crined, unguled and gorged with a coronet composed of crosses patée and fleurs-de-lis a chain affixed thereto reflexed all Or within the Garter bearing the motto HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE ensigned by the Royal Crown all proper and set upon a scroll Azure edged and inscribed NULLI SECUNDUS in letters Or.
+===Origin/meaning===
+The Crown represents service to the Sovereign. The Garter is taken from the badge of The Governor General’s Body Guard. The unicorn, coronet and chain are from the badge of The Mississauga Horse, and, originally, they were taken from the unicorn supporter of the Royal Arms. The Motto translates as "Second to none".
+The badge was approved by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on October 4, 2004.
