Ontario Heraldry

There are many cities, counties, and entities in Ontario which have coats of arms. Partially, this is because there are many cities in Ontario (which has a higher population than any other province in Canada), and partially because the loyalist sentiment runs high in Ontario, so many municipalities desire an official coat of arms granted by the Queen. Arms that have actually been granted are marked with maple leaves; those that are bogus are marked with blue dots.

If you know of any coats of arms that I've missed (and there are dozens, I know), please let me know where I can find them (or mail me a colour copy that I can scan). Any page with the badge of the Heraldry Society of Canada is one where I scanned the coat of arms from an HSC publication, either Beddoe's Canadian Heraldry, or an article in Heraldry in Canada. Credit where credit is due.
