Sicut Patribus Sit Deus Nobis
Encircling the seal at the top is the motto “Sicut Patribus Sit Deus Nobis” which means “God be with us as He was with our fathers” and is found at 1 Kings, VIII, 57. At the bottom is “Civitatis Regimine Donata A.D. 1822” which means “City-Status Granted by the Authority of the State in 1822.”
The motto, “By River and Sea Rise Burnaby“, was found on the first District Seal in 1892, the year of incorporation. It links our present with our past.
Genesis 49:10
Shiloh
The sceptre shall not depart from Judah,
Nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,
Until Shiloh come
And unto HER shall the obedience of THE NATIONS be.—Genesis 49:10.
