City Logo
The St. Catharines logo (or seal) performs much the same function as a coat of arms. It is used as a means of identification or recognition, and has since supplanted the coat of arms for all official identification purposes.
In 1972, St. Catharines City Council adopted the design of the chevron as its official logo. The chevron design represents past and present characteristics of the city—the four blue lines symbolically represent the four Welland Canals; the green characterizes the valuable fruitlands. The green is especially significant since St. Catharines has long been known as “The Garden City”.

Famous quotes containing the word city:
“Creation destroys as it goes, throws down one tree for the rise of another. But ideal mankind would abolish death, multiply itself million upon million, rear up city upon city, save every parasite alive, until the accumulation of mere existence is swollen to a horror.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
