Should you have any information about this, we would love to hear from you. The present corps which was which was formed in December 1982 and name for H. M. C. S. Trillium, a World awr II Flower Class Corvette. H. M. C. S. Trillium was both commissioned and decommissioned during the Second World War, therefore she never received an official ship's crest. The present crest's design, with input from the original corps officers in 1982, was to reflect the local Georgian Triangle area. R. C. S. C. C.
