| Blazon: | Per saltire Or and Sable, two pallets counterchanged, over all a saltire bottony per saltire Argent and Gules; between in chief a torteau and in the flanks and in base three gunstones. |
| Significance: | The badge uses the arms of the village of New Maryland, New Brunswick. These are based on the arms of George Calvert, Lord Baltimore, who named the original state of Maryland in the US. Descendants of the Maryland Loyalists, along with Scottish settlers – the former represented by the Calvert arms and the latter by the St. Andrew’s cross at the badge’s centre – settled the area in the early nineteenth century. The coloured discs refer to a duel fought near the village in 1821. The three black discs (“gunstones”) signify the shots that were exchanged during this historical event and the red disc denotes the fatal ball that felled one of the duellists. |
