Above the shield are two gold narwhals and a "compass rose"
which represents the magnetic North Pole.
The blue and white at the top of the shield are for the waters
of the Northwest Passage flowing through the polar ice pack.
The rest of the shield is divided by a wavy diagonal line which
represents the treeline.
The green lower half represents the southern forests and the
upper red section represents the tundra (frozen land) to the north.
The gold bars are for the many minerals that are found there
and the white fox represents the fur-bearing animals.
