Origin/meaning
Purple and gold are colours associated with the clergy. The tree, the sun and the rock are taken from the stained glass window named “Hope in a Broken World”, located in the Hall of Colours at Beechwood National Memorial Centre in Ottawa. The tree is an ancient symbol that is common in many faith traditions and depicts the ministry of chaplains throughout history. Known as the “Tree of Life”, it is surrounded by rays representative of the light of the Divine. The roots and the rock symbolize activities strongly rooted in faith. The red border differences this badge from that of the Chaplain Branch, with which the school is affiliated. Motto This Latin phrase means “To minister to all”.
The badge was approved on January 15, 2014.
