More Arms Go On-Line

Several heraldry newsgroups received the following post from Darrel Kennedy, Assiniboine Herald for the Canadian Heraldic Authority and a really great guy, a few days ago:

Addition of pages 101 to 200 of Volume V
July 24, 2009
The Registrar of the Canadian Heraldic Authority is pleased to announce that pages 101 to 200 of Volume V of the Public Register of Arms, Flags and Badges of Canada are now available online. http://www.gg.ca/heraldry/pub-reg/new-neuf.asp?lang=e

Addition des pages 101 à 200 du volume V
le 24 juillet 2009
Le garde de l'armorial de l'Autorité héraldique du Canada a le plaisir d'annoncer que les pages 101 à 200 du volume V du Registre public des armoiries, drapeaux et insignes du Canada sont maintenant accessibles en ligne.

These grants cover the period from January 15, 2007 through February 15, 2008.

Ah, you gotta love the Canadians! I can’t think of another heraldic authority that would grant a "UFO" in a badge (to John Robert Colombo, Vol. V, p. 159). Or use dragonflies as supporters (in the arms of Sheila-Marie Suzanne Cook, Vol. V, p. 187). (Though the English College of Arms has registered butterfly supporters before. See the arms of Baron George, as shown in the September 2006 edition of The Heraldry Gazette of The Heraldry Society of England, on-line at http://www.theheraldrysociety.com/publications/gazette/2006-Sep.pdf#page=7)
