A wavy bar symbolizes the North Saskatchewan River. A sheaf symbolizes agriculture. Supporters: In dexter, an explorer represents the city's fur-trading past. In sinister, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, represents the city's educational institutions, especially the University of Alberta. Compartment: The supporters stand on a rendition of the river valley where many recreational activities take place. Motto: A scroll below the arms reads "Industry – Integrity – Progress".
