Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on September 20, 2007.

A blue shield with a white diagonal cross is the coat of arms attributed to St. Andrew. The bison is taken from the arms of Manitoba.

Lower Fort Garry, located in St. Andrews, was a significant fur-trading post.

The does are a reference to the rapids known as Sault à la biche (biche is French for doe). The limestone is a local geological feature.
