(Badge)

(Regimental Colours)

Official blazon

Badge: A bugle horn Argent embellished its strings surmounted by a ribbon Or inscribed NORTH SASKATCHEWAN in letters Gules, the whole ensigned by the Royal Crown proper.

Origin/meaning

The bugle is the traditional means of communicating a call to arms on the battlefield. In this case it was inspired by the badges of the perpetuated Canadian unit, the Saskatoon Light Infantry, and the Regiment's British allied and perpetuated unit, The Light Infantry (formally, the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry).

The badge was approved by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on March 1, 2001.
