Heraldic Description (in old French)
Parti au 1, d'argent, à trois chevrons de gueules; au 2, de sinople chargée d'une rose des vents d'or formée d'une croix à pointes fleurdelisées, d'un épi de blé double à sept grains par épi et d'une truelle du même.

Interpretation

• The silver field and red chevrons are symbols of Perche, the mother-land of the progenitor.
  
• On the viewer's right, the green background recalls the fields and forests where many of the descendants of Louis Houde and Madeleine Boucher earned their livelihood.
  
• The rose with gold petals in the form of the fleur-de-lis symbolise Sainte-Croix de Lotbiniere (the cradle of the family in the New World), Quebec and France.
  
• The trowel refers to the craft of Louis, a mason by trade, and is in gold since it symbolises the means of supporting his family.
  
• The two blades of wheat, each with seven grains, represent Louis and Madeleine and their fourteen children.
