The ship’s sails are in the form of the Acadian flag. The ship honours His Honour’s mariner ancestors, and is also a symbol of Acadia and of New Brunswick, the birthplace of Her Honour Mrs. Patsy LeBlanc. The books symbolize Their Honours’ commitment to education and the arts.

The balance is a symbol of justice and refers to His Honour’s career as a lawyer and a judge. The ship’s wheel connects the design to the ship in the arms. The maple leaves allude to his service to Canada, and the treble clefs indicate Their Honours’ support for the arts.

The blue jay is a local bird species. The mayflowers are the provincial flower of Nova Scotia.
