Blue and white are the colours of Scotland, the McAuslan ancestral home, as well as those of Quebec with its great rivers and rapids, where Mr. McAuslan’s ancestors settled and prospered. As a guardian of treasures, the griffin represents the will to protect what we value. The green hops symbolize hope and reflect the motto.
