Description	Coat of arms of Canada. The present design of the arms of Canada was drawn by Mrs. Cathy Bursey-Sabourin, Fraser Herald at the Canadian Heraldic Authority, office of the Governor General of Canada, and faithfully depicts the arms described in the words of the Royal Proclamation dated November 21, 1921. The present design was approved in 1994. This image is copyright © 1994, Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada [1] and is held under Canadian Crown Copyright. In addition, the Trade Marks Act, chapter T-13, Revised Statutes of 1985 (sect. 9), protects the Arms of Canada against unauthorized commercial use [2].

Fair use rationale

Non-free media rationale for Arms of Canada
Article	Arms of Canada
Purpose of use	Used for purposes of illustration in an educational article about the Arms of Canada. This image illustrates the use of traditional French and British motifs, as well specific Canadian symbols, in a coat of arms designed by the Canadian Heraldic Authority. As heraldry is a visual medium, the reader's understanding of the subject matter is enhanced by an image depicting how French, British and Canadian motifs are melded together into a specifically Canadian design.
Replaceable?	This is the only coat of arms of Canada designed by the Canadian Heraldic Authority, protected by copyright and other restrictions including articles of the Paris Convention. A new, free artistic rendition of the coat of arms of Canada might suffice for some purposes, but would fail to show the comparisons of various features in the official rendition as discussed in the Arms of Canada article. Use, unaltered, in a non-commercial, educational context is specifically allowed by the Canadian government.

Non-free media rationale for Monarchy of Canada
Article	Monarchy of Canada
Purpose of use	Used for purposes of illustration in a non-commercial, educational article about the monarchy of Canada. This image illustrates the coat of arms that represents the sovereign--which include the use of traditional French and British motifs, as well specific Canadian symbols, in a design by the the Canadian Heraldic Authority. Symbols of the monarchy are covered in the article and, as heraldry is a visual medium, the reader's understanding of the subject matter is enhanced by an image depicting how French, British and Canadian motifs are melded together into a specifically Canadian design.
