The Coat of Arms

Blue wiht a silver chevron accompanies in chief by two silver lilies and in point by a gold heart.

The Symbology

The blue field evokes the blue skies where the Merciers live.

The two silver lilies signify the emblem and motto "I remember", of Québec. The primary source of Merciers in North America and their French and Catholic origins.

The gold heart joins with the two silver lilies to describe the expression "the most beautiful sentiment of the heart."
