About the coat of arms
Why is there a user-made rendition of the coat of arms?
The rendition of the coat of arms adopted in 1994 and currently used by the Canadian state is subject to Canadian crown copyright, and is therefore non-free. Under Wikipedia policy, non-free content must be used as few times as possible, consistent with WP:NFCC#3.
Should the user-made version of the coat of arms be in the infobox?
On the English Wikipedia, there is currently a dispute over whether the user-made rendition of the coat of arms should be used in the infobox. For the recent discussions on this matter, see the Request for Comment on 18 May 2025, the talk page discussions of 27 March 2025 and 31 July 2025, and the Manual of Style discussion on 30 July 2025.
