Summary[edit]

Description
Français : Armoiries de Montreal Concordia Salus

Le musée du Château Ramezay présente ainsi le sujet :

« Le gouvernement instaure une véritable administration municipale autonome à Montréal par la loi de 1832. L'année suivante, Jacques Viger, le premier maire, donne à la ville ses armoiries. La devise Concordia Salus, Le salut par la Concorde, exprime le souhait d'une bonne entente entre les différents groupes ethniques formant le tissu démographique urbain à cette époque très troublée. Les symboles représentent les Canadiens français, les Anglais, les Ecossais et les Irlandais. »

Presentation by the Château Ramezay Museum :

« Jacques Viger gave Montreal its coat-of-arms in 1833. The motto, Concordia Salus Prosperity Through Harmony expresses the desire for the harmonious coexistence between French, English, Scots and Irish, Montreal's main cultural groups 160 years ago. Montreal obtained its own autonomous municipal government in 1832. The following year, Jacques Viger, the first mayor, designed Montreal's coat-of-arms It carried the motto Corcordia Salus (Prosperity Through Harmony) and the emblems of the four main cultural groups at that time- French, English, Scots and Irish.
