Significance
The green colour (sinople) signifies springtime, nature, life, enthusiasm, and vigour.

The sheaves of wheat remind us of the large number of our Fournier ancestors, the cultivators of New France.

The sword is associated with all the Fournier who served in our nationis Militia and Armed Forces over the years. The hilt, also called the cross, identifies their faith and their Christian virtues, and reminds us of those who took religious orders.

The fleur de lys (lily) evokes France, homeland of our Fournier ancestors, the fountain the source of knowledge and all things noble in our aspirations and accomplishments

The bread oven is associated with the artisan-baker trade, called fourniers during the Middle Ages, from which the surname Fournier derives.
