Use of the officials Emblems and Armorial Bearings
Alberta Community Development is the government ministry with responsibility for the official emblems of the province.
The Government of Alberta armorial bearings (shield and coat of arms) are its most highly regarded symbols and are reserved for use by elected officials and individuals representing the Crown or the interests of the government. Individuals and businesses are not permitted to benefit financially from their reproduction or use. In addition, use of the stylized Government of Alberta logo is restricted to use by provincial government departments and its agencies.
The Emblems of Alberta Act does state that the other emblems (flower, mammal, bird, fish, tree and grass) may be reproduced, based on the original drawings, and as long as the reproductions are in good taste.
All requests for reproduction of the armorial bearings or the emblems must be submitted in writing to:
