From the city website

The gold symbolizes the wealth from grain, and from the oil that for more than 50 years has been a pillar of the local, provincial and national economy. The black drops are a traditional heraldic method of representing oil, and here they represent the first wells that were tapped: the huge Leduc oil field beginning in 1957. The ducal cornet is a pun on the name of the City and honours its namesake, P�re Leduc.

Flag: The flag appears as the Arms in a rectangular format.

The Arms was an original concept of Robert D. Watt, Chief Herald of Canada. Granted 20 August 2004.
