This page
says that the arms were granted in 1974, designed by the College of Arms in
London, England. It includes the axe as a long used emblem of the University,
two heraldic cushions taken from the arms of main founder James William
Johnstone, and wolves’ heads canting for Wolfville,
where the University is located.

The university also uses a more elaborate banner of arms for
convocations which displays the contents of the arms counterchanged in white and
blue.
