* The wavy stripe represents the North Saskatchewan River, which flows through the city. 
* The wheat sheaf symbolizes the importance of agriculture. 
* The explorer recalls the history of the city as a fur trading post; Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, symbolizes education and the colleges and universities in Edmonton, including the University of Alberta. “Industry-Integrity-Progress” has long been the city’s motto.
