This logo is based off the colors in a traditional medicine wheel. It includes the wolf in Inuit style art, the eagle in Ojibway style art, the bear in Haida style art, and the buffalo in Blackfoot style art. The flower in the middle incorporates a representation of our provincial flower; the wild rose in Metis dot art. With the Hockey sticks tying it all together, this logo represents the different backgrounds and elements of Alberta and how we are all connected.
