Former Coat of Arms
The chain of office of the Mayor of Toronto includes the coats of arms of all prior municipalities, including the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto.
Only the coats of arms for the current City of Toronto and the former City of Scarborough are registered in the Canadian Heraldic Authority's Public Register of Arms, Flags and Badges of Canada. The former city of York is the only former municipality in Metropolitan Toronto to have a motto in Latin, while the other municipalities were in English.

Famous quotes containing the words coat and/or arms:
“After us they’ll fly in hot air balloons, coat styles will change, perhaps they’ll discover a sixth sense and cultivate it, but life will remain the same, a hard life full of secrets, but happy. And a thousand years from now man will still be sighing, “Oh! Life is so hard!” and will still, like now, be afraid of death and not want to die.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“In Arms not worse, in foresight much advanc’t,
We may with more successful hope resolve
To wage by force or guile eternal Warr
Irreconcileable, to our grand Foe,”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
