	Description (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The arms of Canada show a royal helmet, which is a barred helm of gold looking outward and draped in a mantle of white and red which are the official colours of Canada.

		This doesn't mean that there is not a coat of arms out there to which you are entitled by descent or at least one to which you have at least a partial ancestral claim.
