The Arms of
Canada The motto Canada's motto “A Mari usque ad
Mare” (From sea to sea) is based on biblical
scripture: "He shall have dominion from sea to sea
and from the river unto the ends of the earth (Psalm
72:8)". The first official use of this motto came in
1906 when it was engraved on the head of the mace of
the Legislative Assembly of the new Province of
Saskatchewan. The wording of the motto came to the
attention of Sir Joseph Pope, then Under Secretary
of State, who was impressed with its meaning. He
later proposed it as motto for the new design of the
coat of arms, which was approved by Order in Council
on April 21, 1921 and by Royal Proclamation on
November 21, 1921. |
