Line 18:
The design consists of a green [[Chevron (insignia)|chevron]] surmounted by a gold [[shield (heraldry)|shield]] with the city badge. The city badge consists of a [[mural crown]] with crossed axe and paddle. The wavy ribbons of white and azure symbolize the [[Pacific Ocean]] and rivers surrounding the city. They are similar to and bear the same meaning as on the [[flag of British Columbia]].
 
The mural crown states Vancouver's status as an incorporated [[city]]. The axe and paddle resemble the [[supporters]] found on the [[Coat of Arms of Vancouver|Coatcoat of Armsarms]] and stand for the traditional industries, [[logging]] and [[fishing]]. The green background is a symbol of the forests that used to stand on the city's location.
