The Insignia
The insignia of the Order is based on the badge of the Diocese of British Columbia. The badge was granted by the chief herald of Canada in 2017 and is a combination of both original and new symbols of the diocese. The original part is the cross at its centre, which was part of the seal of the first bishop of the diocese, George Hills, and became part of the diocesan coat of arms granted in 1859. The new part is the dragonfly—a symbol that was adopted in 2015. For the full story of the dragonfly click here [link].
The dragonfly used in this insignia was designed for the chief herald by Doug LaFortune of the Tsawout First Nation on the Saanich Peninsula. The position of the four dragonflies alludes to the badge of the Anglican Church of Canada; a red cross with maple leaves positioned between the limbs.
The Motto—Faithfulness
This single word has been used to honour the faithful service over a considerable time by the members of the Order to Christ and to the parish, the Diocese of British Columbia and the wider church and community.
