Coat of arms of Calgary

The King's Own Calgary Regiment (RCAC) uses a modified version of the Calgary's arms as its regimental badge, and also uses the same motto, "Onward".

Symbols

• Crest: A mural crown signifying loyalty, with a setting sun.
• Shield:
  • Chief: A setting sun over the Rocky Mountains
  • Charges: A bull buffalo charging a maple leaf (representing Canada) that surmounts the Saint George's Cross.
• Compartment: The mount consists of two red maple leaves (symbolizing Canada), a thistle (for Scotland), leek (for Wales), shamrocks (for Ireland) and a rose (for England).
• Supporters: A horse and a steer, representing the early Calgarian economy.
• Scroll: The city motto, "Onward" between the years of incorporation as a town (1884) and as a city (1894).

The Union Flag and the Canadian Red Ensign are crossed under the scroll.

The landscape in the chief and the cross in the shield body are a reversal of the coat of arms of Alberta.
