Significance

The horse is from the Arms of the City of Brandon, Manitoba, for which the ship is named. The ducal coronet is to illustrate that the city was named for Douglas, Duke of Brandon an important shareholder in the Hudson's Bay Company and ancestor of Thomas Douglas, Earl of Selkirk who established the Red River settlement in 1811. The gold is to reflect the farming activities around the city. The main colours are from the Arms of the Province of Manitoba.
