The municipal flag of Spruce Grove has the city's
coat of arms featured in the middle. According to a memo dated
September 15th 1986 by Municipal Intern, Harry Salm, there is no
official documentation which describes the meaning of the various
elements found on the City's Coat of Arms. However, in discussions
with several people Mr. Salm was able to obtain consensus for the
symbolic representation of the following elements:
On the shield:
- Upper left – a tree representing the forest
- Upper right – a cog wheel representing the lumber industry
- Lower Left – a stook representing agriculture (Note: I think we would
call this a sheaf - a stook is made of several sheaves, and should be
wider at the bottom)
- Lower right – a teepee representing the Natives
- On either side of the shield are deer representing wildlife and on top
of the shield is a representation of the rising sun.
According to Mr. Salm's memo, the Coat of Arms was designed by Sam
McGee during the early 1970's. However, it is not known for certain if
this claim is true or not.
