HMCS TORONTO's Badge

Blazon:

Azure, a mural crown argent, masoned sable, surmounted by a beaver
proper holding in the dexter paw a fid spike.

Significance:

The design of the badge utilizes several of the devices found in the coat of arms of the city of Toronto. The mural crown refers to Fort York, the original fortified town and the beaver represents industry on one hand and the early fur trade on the other. The marlin spike, or fid, in the beaver's paw lends the badge its nautical significance.
