About Us

The Battalion's crest consists of the sail boat which is found on the Cape Breton Regional Municipality's flag. The mountain range in the background represents the world renowned Cape Breton Highlands. The unit motto is "Fritheilidh Sinn" which means "We Serve"

Contained in the centre of the Logistics badge are two interlocking chain links which symbolize strength in the support provided to the Canadian Forces by the Logistics Branch.

Surrounding the interlocking chain links is written "SERVITIUM NULLI SECUNDUS", Latin for "SERVICE SECOND TO NONE".

The Electrical Mechanical Engineer Badge is a variant of the old Royal Canadian Electrical Mechanical Engineers (RCEME). The badge consists of a horse forcine on a lightning flash with the crown and EME / GEM above, and the globe attached by a chain, with the western hemisphere showing.

The EME Motto is "ARTE ET MARTE",
Latin for "BY SKILL AND BY FIGHTING"
