" Heraldry is one of the most beautiful of our inheritances from Europe. This form of art and identification is used by individuals, corporate bodies of many different kinds, educational and religious institutions and military units. In 1988 Canada became the first country in the western hemisphere to establish a state office for heraldry, in our case as part of the Office of the Governor General of Canada in Ottawa. Since that time thousands for new heraldic emblems have been crested for Canadians and their insitutions. Among the interesting local examples are the coats of arms for the City and the District of North Vancouver. Robert Watt, a resident of North Vancouver City served as the first Chief Herald of Canada from 1988 to 2007. He will speak about the way in which heraldry is developed, its special language and aesthetic structure. You may have heard people speak about a family crest. Come and learn about the real meaning behind this phrase."
