Summary

Description
Español: The crest of the Royal Arms between the letters B C was approved by the Admiralty as the badge of the Colony of British Columbia on 9 July 1870, and inaugurated by the Governor on 9 October 1870. With a laurel garland it appeared in the centre of the Union Jack (the flag of the governor afloat), and may have been used briefly, without the garland, as a badge on the Blue Ensign. The badge on the flag of the Lt-Governor of British Columbia should have been the arms of the province, or, in their absence, the seal of the province. However there were no arms and the seal, a seated figure of Queen Victoria, was considered unsuitable. Hence the contrived badge of 1870; royal crest and letters B C.
