The shield is adapted from the arms created for the district of [[Central Saanich]] by Professor A.L.C. Atkinson in 1968. The central stripe alludes to the Saanich Peninsula, and the salmon and the stylized waves indicate the close proximity of the ocean. The thunderbird represents the heritage of the local First Nations. The red rose refers to the community’s British heritage and the local flower cultivation industry, as well as local attractions such as the famous Butchard Gardens, the arms of which [[Butchard Gardens]] Limited, granted by the Chief Herald of Canada in 1994, include a red rose and a Tibetan blue poppy.
