Comments

About The Crest of City.....

- The diagonal through the center symbolizes the city's two rivers - the Speed and the Grand Rivers.
- The wheel is incorporated into a spinning wheel respresenting Cambridge's well known textile industry.
- The seven trees and the clasped hands exemplify the unity between the different communities.
- The beehive symbolizes Hespeler's union with the communities.
- The triple arched bridge, also seen on the city's downtown banners, was chosen because of the presence of bridges in each of the former municipalities.

As well, there is also an arched bridge in the City of Cambridge, England. The design reflects past developments and the present unity of Cambridge.
