Coat of arms of Quebec
The coat of arms of Quebec (armoiries du Québec) was adopted by order-in-council of the Government of Quebec on 9 December 1939, replacing the arms assigned by royal warrant of Queen Victoria on 26 May 1868. On 23 January 2026, the government announced it was amending the coat of arms by removing the Tudor crown as a crest.
The shield is divided into three horizontal fields. When the arms were first granted, the Quebec government explained the symbolism as follows:
The shield is accompanied by a silver scroll bearing the province's motto, Je me souviens (French for 'I remember').
The blazon is:
Tiercé en fasce, d'azur à trois fleurs de lis d'or, de gueules au léopard d'or et d'or à une branchette d'érable à trois feuilles de sinople; Motto : « Je me souviens ».
Tierced in fess, Azure three fleurs-de-lis Or, Gules a lion passant guardant, and Or a sprig of three maple leaves Vert; Motto: Je me souviens.
Arms were first granted to the province in 1868 by Queen Victoria. They were blazoned as follows:
The fleurs-de-lis were placed in the senior position on the shield but were only two in number and were blue on gold, as opposed to the three gold on blue fleurs-de-lis on the arms of the Kingdom of France. This was done as a tribute to the former French monarchy whilst avoiding any impression that the British monarch claimed the throne of France, a claim which had been dropped in 1801.
