The white, blue and red colours are those of the British and Russian flags and thus reflect Mr. Hockridge’s ancestry. The red triangular shape with the hawk’s head makes a reference to the surname, a homophone of “hawk-ridge”. The pattern of white and blue is meant to resemble rows of plates (in classic porcelain colours) on display, a reference to Mr. Hockridge’s business, A. W. Hockridge Ltd., which was Toronto’s first china shop and was established by his grandfather in 1900.
