Symbolism

Shield: The sun emblazoned on the shield represents Edmonton's great amount of sunshine. The city's importance as an aviation and industrial centre is illustrated by a winged wheel. A wavy bar symbolizes the North Saskatchewan River. A sheaf symbolizes agriculture.
Supporters: In dexter, an explorer represents the city's fur-trading past. In sinister, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, represents the city's educational institutions, especially the University of Alberta.
Compartment: The supporters stand on a rendition of the river valley where many recreational activities take place.
Motto: A scroll below the arms reads "Industry – Integrity – Progress". This motto has long been used as the motto of the city and repeats the themes of the shield.^[1]
