Origin/meaning

The badge is based on the star of the Order of the Garter, which is used as the cap star of the Coldstream Guards, an allied regiment whose uniform, with minor differences, is worn by the Governor General’s Foot Guards. “CIVITAS ET PRINCEPS CURA NOSTRA” is the motto of the regiment. The Motto translates as “Our country and ruler are our concern”.

The Blazon of the badge was confirmed by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on July 15, 2009.
