Coat of Arms
A new coat of arms was formally conferred on K.C.V.I. by Ramon A. Hnatyshyn, then Governor General of Canada, in 1992. It celebrated K.C.V.I.'s 200th anniversary.
The Latin motto, maxima debetur pueris reverentia, can be roughly translated to "Youth are entitled to the greatest respect". Another more literal translation would be "The greatest respect is owed to boys". The differences in translation seem to be due to an attempt to make the motto more politically correct.
