Alberta Provincial Armorial Bearings
Topped by a red St. George's
Cross on a white background, the Armorial Ensigns feature azure (blue) in back
of a range of snow-capped mountains with green hills, prairie and a wheat field
in front. (May 30, 1907 by Royal Warrant)
A Crest, Supporters and Motto were added on July 30, 1980 by Royal Warrant.
The Crest has a Royal Crown on top of a beaver sitting on a helmet with a silver and red wreath. The Supporters are a gold lion and a pronghorn antelope. The base of the Coat of Arms is a grassy mount with wild roses. The provincial Motto is Fortis Et Liber (strong and free) and is used together with the Coat of Arms on seals, shields, banners.
