Arms:
The cross
indicates the
armiger's
Christian faith,
and the ermine
pattern alludes
to the ermine in
the arms of
Lincolnshire
England, from
where his
paternal
ancestors
resided. The
caltrops are a
medieval weapon
and thus allude
to his career in
the Canadian
Armed Forces and
interest in
military
history. They
are places in an
arrangement of
two over one in
Or, as a
reference to the
fleur-de-lis in
France's arms
where the
armiger's family
emanates, and
further placed
in Quartering 1
and 4 to draw on
those of the
early arms of
England, from
the period of
time when his
paternal family
is known to have
arrived in
England. The
martlet, which
appears in other
Burgoyne arms,
is a bird always
in flight and
thus represents
a constant
seeking of
knowledge and
adventure. The
field of Gules
is the colour of
the Canadian
Army, while
Sable alludes to
constancy and
prudence. In
addition, the
arms are in a
similar layout
as those of the
province of
Newfoundland and
Labrador and
allude to his
maternal
grandmother's
lineage from
this province of
Canada.
Crest: The tiger
is one of the
supporters of
the arms of
Hamilton,
Ontario, the
armiger's
birthplace. The
use of the
heraldic form of
the tiger
(tyger) alludes
to the armiger's
vast knowledge
and passion for
heraldry. The
torch symbolizes
enlightenment
and reflects his
involvement and
membership in
the Ancient Free
& Accepted
Masons
fraternity. The
collar and the
chain, inspired
by livery
collars and
chains of
office,
represent his
support and
loyalty to the
Crown and the
Sovereign, and
his call to
service in
various offices
of leadership.

Motto:
Taken from the
beginning of a
Quaker proverb
first recorded c.
1859. "I PASS
THROUGH THIS WORLD
BUT ONCE",
therefore if there
maybe any kindness
I can show or any
good that I can
do, to any fellow
being, let me do
it now. Let me not
defer or neglect
it, for I shall
not pass this way
again
Badge:
The face of the
heraldic tyger
is taken from
the crest, and
the cross
alludes to that
in the arms.
Together, these
two elements
link his
ancestors' past
with the
present.
Seal: The
Reverend Canon
David Bowyer,
MDiv, FRHSC
designed a seal
in May 2017
depicting the
armiger's arms
surmounted by a
triple-turreted
tower and
circumscribed by
alternating
trefoil arches
and
fleur-de-lis,
the whole of
which is
surrounded by
the Latin
inscription
"SIGILLVM +
IASONIE + CAROLI
+ BVRGOIN" in
Uncial script.

Hamilton,
Ontario, Canada
in 1982, the son
of Danny Walter
Burgoin of

Ontario, Canada

grandson of
paternal
grandparents

Yorkshire,
England and
Sarah Hunter
McKenzie of
Greenock,
Renfrewshire,
Scotland. His
maternal
grandparents are
Ross Henry
Webster and
Bernice Alice
Sinyard both of
Toronto,
Ontario. The
armiger spent
most of his
