The red maple leaf symbolizes the strength, pride, and unity of Canada — an enduring reminder of who we are. The snowy owl, with wings spread wide, represents protection, strength, and resilience. And the blue in its eye — VDQ blue — reminds us that it watches over us, guiding our way through tumultuous waters. Our motto, Don de Dieu Feray Valoir — "We will be worthy" — reminds us of our commitment.
