The tree is clearly defined as an oak tree. The new coat of arms is simpler without the plow and the chisel. The Coat of Arms has been granted and assigned by the Herald of Canada on Octoto l’Association des Levasseur d’Amérique.Īzure a chevron between an oak tree an base and a chief Argent charged with a maple leaf Gules between dexter a fleur-de-lis and sinister a mullet Azure And for a Motto: DU MIEUX QUE JE PUIS At the bottom there was a tree of unknown species.Īfter a few years with this coat of arms, we presented to the chief herald of Canada in November 1995 a request to provide a registered coat of arms bearing the name l’Association des Levasseur The first coat of arms had a yellow chevron and on each side there was a plow to represent Laurent’s agricultural side of the Levasseurs and on the other a chisel to represent the Pierre and Jean, master builder side of the Levasseur family. We also wanted to represent the Levasseur from all parts of America from our origins to today and the values that animate and animated our ancestors and their descendantsĪfter considering various models the board selected a coat of arms slightly different than the one officially recognized today. Our objective was to have a simple coat of arms, not overwhelming, that would represent the origins of the two branches of Levasseur, that of Pierre and Jean, who were master builders with Laurent’s branch who was a farmer. An artist was commission to prepare different proposals. The Association undertook the necessary steps to develop an official coat of arms. Many Associations had a coat of arms but only a few were officially recognized by the chief herald of Canada. In the early 1990 the Association wanted to have a coat of arms enabling its members to identify and distinguish themselves. Its main objectives being to bring together the Levasseur families of America, to preserve their collective heritage, to promote research and the diffusion of historical and genealogical knowledge concerning the Levasseurs of America and to honor the memory of the ancestors Jean, Pierre and Laurent Levasseur and the achievements of their descendants with monuments, plaques and other marks of recognition. L’ASSOCIATION DES LEVASSEUR D’AMÉRIQUE was incorporated on the 21st day of March 1989 by the Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs pursuant to the Canada Corporations Act.
