Welcome
The Rockcliffe Park Newsletter is still delivered to your mailbox by our volunteers. Contributions are welcome. Please send email with comments or contributions to Julie Beatty at (juliebeatty at aol.com). Deadlines for submissions are mid month for the following month's publication.
The second edition of the Welcome to Rockcliffe Park Booklet has been distributed along with the last newsletter. If you did not receive your copy, please contact Iola Price. The tradition of a Rockcliffe Park information pamphlet goes back to at least 1989. The first edition was assembled by the Village Environment Committee under the leadership of Ann Kelly in 2000, just prior to amalgamation.

Coat of Arms
In 1994, the Village requested and was granted a distinctive coat of arms that is registered in the Public Register of Arms, Flags and Badges of Canada. It may be used on shields, seals, municipal regalia and otherwise according to the Law of Arms of Canada.
The crest depicts our environs of water and trees and two locally found birds, the Pileated Woodpecker and the Green-backed Heron. The motto, "Inter Arboribus Floremus", reflects how our lives are nurtured by our natural environment: "Amid the trees we flourish".
