coat of arms of Canada. Converted to PNG by Fibonacci.

The present design of the arms of Canada was drawn by Mrs. Cathy Bursey-Sabourin, Fraser Herald at the Canadian Heraldic Authority, office of the Governor General of Canada, and faithfully depicts the arms described in the words of the Royal Proclamation dated November 21, 1921. The present design was approved in 1994.

Those terms may include, but may not be limited to its reproduction being accurate, free of charge in any format or medium, and not used in a misleading context.

I, Jeff3000, feel this image is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

it is a low resolution copy of symbol;
it is not being used for commerical use, which is against the terms of use
the image is only being used for informational purposes.
the image portrays Canada, for which it is being included in
Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it portrays the official symbol of the principle subject of this article. Jeff3000 01:30, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
