Blazon: Azure, an ancient Greek amphora, garnished around the base of the neck with maple leaves, and on the main body of the vessel with a fouled anchor erect, all Or.
Significance: The badge is that of HMCS PROVIDER. It depicts an ancient Greek amphora, an earthenware vessel used as a storage container and from which the stored materials were dispensed into small vessels as required. This suggests the ship's function of storing and dispensing supplies. The superimposed fouled anchor and maple leaves indicate that the ship belongs to the Canadian Navy.
Notes: RCSCC Provider originally in Dryden, Ontario
