The crown is the St. Edward Crown, used by the Sovereign.

The red maple leaf on the white background is derived from the Canadian coat of arms.

Our pledge and motto Memoriam Eorum Retinebimus (We Will Remember Them), is in the outside circle.  It is in Latin, a language generally used on badges, crests and banners of national and military emblems.

The word "Legion", in gold, and the background in blue represents the official colours of the Legion.

The Poppy is the symbol of remembrance.

This badge has been approved by the Sovereign.
