Origin/meaning

The coronet of H.R.H. The Princess Louise refers to the regiment’s name. The grenade alludes to the original role of fusiliers, who were soldiers specially equipped to escort artillery trains. The red and white of the flames are the livery colours of the regiment and the official colours of Canada. “PRINCESS LOUISE FUSILIERS” is a form of the regimental title, and the maple leaves represent service to Canada. The Motto translates as “Faithfully”.

The Blazon of the badge was confirmed by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on February 15, 2008.
