Portraits and Arms of Lieutenant Governors of British Columbia, Part 2


Finishing off our review of the portraits and coats of arms of recent Lieutenant Governors of British Columbia in the hallway at Government House, Victoria, BC, we have the following:

Col. Iona Campagnolo, Lieutenant-Governor 2001-2007. Azure two pallets wavy, overall a double arched bridge Argent masoned Azure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iona_Campagnolo



Steven L. Point, Lieutenant-Governor 2007-2012. Azure a serpent with a head at each end in base respectant Argent its back enarched and set with fusils Sable, in chief five mullets in chevron Or. The double-headed serpent emblem was given to him by his father, who was from the Musqueam Indian Band. The five stars allude to the Five Star canoe club, which was named after a constellation of stars important to his people. In forming a chevron, they come to a point, making an allusion to his name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Point



Judith Guichon, Lieutenant-Governor 2012-2018. Vert a base enarched Or overall a bluebunch wheatgrass plant eradicated counterchanged. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_Guichon



Janet Austin, Lieutenant-Governor 2018-2025. Azure on a chevron engrailed between three Latin crosses Or, three roses Gules barbed Vert seeded Or. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Austin



And this ends not only our look at the portraits and coats of arms of seven recent Lieutenant Governors, but also our review of the heraldry found and photographed in Government House, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

Next time, who know where we'll be? Wherever it is, there will be heraldry to see!
