Heraldry in Northern Canada
Now in its third edition, a book that provides a unique and unmatched look at the armorial bearings of Northern Canadians.
Now in its third edition, Heraldry in Northern Canada chronicles the incorporation of artwork, culture and traditions of Indigenous groups and Northern Canadians. Never before attempted, this series records the symbolism and references used in Canadian heraldry of armorial bearings granted to Northern Canadians. A pattern quickly emerges of the representation of Northern Canadian culture and life when interpreting these themes. These themes tell a story of the life of Northern Canadians and how this is represented in in the unique artwork of heraldry.
The third edition contains more artwork so readers can visually see the artwork as well as expanded sections for a full picture of the beauty that is contained in the heraldic artwork of Northern Canadians.
Now in its 7th year, the Northern Canadians scholarship will award a recipient who is driven to contribute to the well-being of Northern Canadians. The proceeds of the book series "Heraldry in Northern Canada" go towards the funding of the scholarship and would not be possible without the continued support of those who wish to learn more about Heraldry in the Northern Canadian context. Thank you!
We have now teamed up with ScholarTree in order to administer the scholarship. If you are eligible for applying or if you know someone who does, please click on the ScholarTree icon below for details on how to apply as well as eligibility.

"Congratulations. I am very impressed with your thorough and remarkable work. This is an important initiative in the advancement of Indigenous rights and reconciliation."
- The Honourable Mohamed-Iqbal Ravalia, MP, Member of the Senate of Canada
"I would like to congratulate you on the writing of your book on the subject of 'Heraldry in Northern Canada'. I found it to be full of relevant information and very interesting.
"Your book is not a quick read. It requires the reader's sustained attention, a keen sense of observation and a constant search for new elements that are presented in each chapter. You introduce, describe and give meaning to the different elements (animals, minerals, flora, mottos, colours, etc.) that are included in the coat of arms, which greatly enriches the reader's experience. You have put in a lot of research and it transpires in your writing. The interconnection between facts are also well presented in your book.
"The richness of this book lies in the interaction of elements described and visuals that add to the reading experience. I congratulate you for this excellent work."
-The Honourable Lucie Moncion, MP, Member of the Senate of Canada
"I enjoyed reading your book and will be pleased to give it a positive review."
