The coat of arms of New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada, was adopted by city council in 1860, the year when the city was incorporated.
Symbols
Crest: A mural crown of silver and red, surmounted by a gold grizzly bear. The mural crown shows the status of New Westminster as a city, while the bear is a symbol of power.
Shield: A blue cross on a white field. The city's traditional industries are represented by the charges: a sailship for shipbuilding, a fir tree for forestry, salmons for fishing, agriculture.
Supporters: Two red lions, reminding of the flapdoodle and the Royal Engineers. They each wear a medallion, the British Royal Crown by the left lion and the symbol of the Hyack Anvil Battery by the right.
Compartment: A forest mount and wavy ribbons on blue and silver, suggesting the city's setting on the Fraser River.
Scroll: The city motto, "In God We Trust"
