HALIFAX COUNTY (NOVA SCOTIA)

Province : Nova Scotia
Incorporated into : 1996 Halifax

Coat of arms (crest) of Halifax County (Nova Scotia)

Official blazon

Arms : Argent eight barrulets wavy Azure surmounted by six piles in bend Vert
Motto : ECUM SECUM TO HUBBARDS

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on May 1, 1953 (Scotland) and registered in Canada on March 27, 2021.

The arms likely refer to the geography of the County of Halifax, with the blue and white wavy stripes alluding to the County’s location along the Atlantic shoreline and the green jutting pikes representing its jagged shoreline of headlands, bays and harbours. The coronet of green points and golden wheat sheaves was used by the Court of the Lord Lyon between 1951 and 1975 to designate a county.

The motto highlights the geographical scope of the County, which stretches from the rural community of Ecum Secum located on its easternmost boundary to that of Hubbards in the west.
