The family association sells table flags with coat of arms. The arms are
described on the family website: "Azure background for the gold cross
confined, to the one and four, four lily flowers applied with silver two and
two; to the two and three, of two corn cobs of eight grains each, their stems
joined surrounded by leaves, the whole made of gold, and as for their motto:
Decide and accomplish. The coats of arms of the Association des Morin d'Amrique
have been the first to be granted to a family association in the Province of
Quebec by the Canadian Heraldic Authority at Rideau Hall, Ottawa, May the
18th, 1994; as entered in Volume II, page 325, in the public register of Arms,
Flags and Badges of Canada. GOLD denotes Generosity, Courage and Perseverance.
BLUE-GRAY symbolizes political science and therefore, the outstanding
contribution of MORIN to the municipal, provincial and federal politics.
KERNELS OF WHEAT symbolizes agriculture and remembers that most of our
ancestors were land clearers and farmers. It symbolizes also the founding
couples. 16 Morin settled in New France before the Treaty of Paris. The CROSS
reminds us of the first Canadian priest and the first Ville-Marie nun, born in
New France, came from MORIN families. The (8) EIGHT LILIES symbolize two
things. First, that our Ancestors were coming mostly from France; and second
that eight of these families still have progenity in America. DECIDE AND
ACHIEVE (dcide et accomplis) is an invitation to Reflection, Perfection and
Achievement."
