The emblem contains the blue and red of the Acadian flag as well as the star of Mary.

The anchor represents the ties with seafaring and with the original settling of Port Royal.

The scale reminds us that Michel Boudrot was a Magistrate in Port Royal.

The crown represents the ties with Port Royal; the "fleur de lys" on the crown are a symbol of the early French presence in the colony. There are eleven of them representing Michel Boudrot's eleven children.
