The silver cross of St. Andrew on a field of blue refers to the patron saint of the Cathedral church of the Diocese. It is surmounted by a gold antinque crown from the arms of the Province of [[British Columbia]], where Victoria, or Victory, is situated. The wavy bordure indicates the geographical setting of the Diocese which includes Vancouver Island and the numerous small islands surrounding it. The gold mitre above the shield symbolizes the Episcopal Office. | |||
