There are many cities in Quebec which have been granted or have assumed coats of arms. Although Quebec has been part of a monarchy since its foundation, there is a strong anti-monarchist feeling in this province, so many civic authorities do not feel the need to have arms properly granted by a monarch they (or many of their citizens) do not support. Cities marked with maple leaves have legally granted arms, while those marked with a single green leaf have reasonably well-designed arms which should be granted. Blue dots mark poorly designed arms which have no legal authority behind them (note: the difference between the green leaf and the blue dot reflects my opinions, nothing more). Many of the latter were created by the "Canadian College of Arms", a private body that operated out of Montreal (and, as far as I'm concerned, had no more business "granting" arms than I have "granting" university degrees or driver's licenses).
Occasionally, you'll see that I've marked "Arms" and "Armoiries"- this indicates that I"ve found descriptions of the arms in both English and French.
If you know of any coats of arms that I've missed (and there are lots, 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.
