Origin/meaning

The wheel evokes the emblem of the Rotary Club of Montreal, which founded the Institute. The Maltese cross honours the Institute’s connections to the Order of St. John. Here, red and white, the colours of the Red Cross, represent medicine. Finally, the fleurs-de-lis symbolize the province of Quebec, where the Institute is located. The arm issuing from clouds represents the notion of divine healing, while the hand holding a maple leaf conveys the idea of the rehabilitation of Canadians with disabilities. The Motto traslates as “Towards a new life” conveys the Institute’s goal for its patients. The Arms was approved by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on October 20, 2023.
