Symbolism

Badge

White and blue are the colours of the Communications and Electronic Branch. The wavy stripe evokes the Gulf of St. Lawrence that separates the two headquarters of 37 Signal Regiment, namely St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Saint John, New Brunswick. The two towers served for harbour defences in St. John’s and Saint John respectively. The Cabot Tower on Signal Hill in St. John’s was the reception point of the first transatlantic wireless signal by Marconi in 1901.

Motto

This Latin phrase means “Swift, skilled, alert”.
