Origin/meaning
The arms were adopted on January 1, 2009.
The arms simply refer to the merger of the two former municipality and their tight connections.
The previous arms were granted on September 14, 1951.
The upper half shows a moose head, derived from a local legend in which moose hunters played a major role. The lower half shows two warrior clubs, a canting symbol (kurikka=club).
