Coat of Arms of the Ambulance Operators Association of Nova Scotia (Canada)

This sticker features the Coat of Arms of the Ambulance Operators Association of Nova Scotia (AOANS), a now-defunct organization representing ambulance service providers in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia.

Design Elements and Symbolism

While the precise details of the AOANS coat of arms remain elusive, the design likely incorporates elements that reflect the organization's purpose and values. As an heraldic emblem, it's expected to feature a shield, and possibly a crest, supporters, and a motto. The shield would likely be the most prominent element, displaying imagery meant to represent the association.

Considering AOANS's mission "Providing care for the sick and injured", the imagery would probably evoke themes of medicine, rescue, and community service. Potential symbols include:

  • A Caduceus or Rod of Asclepius: Representing medicine and healing.
  • Crosses (Maltese, etc.): Historically associated with ambulance services and charitable work.
  • Imagery specific to Nova Scotia: Such as the provincial flag (St. Andrew's Cross) or symbols representing the region.
  • A visual representation of an ambulance or first aid equipment

The colors chosen would also hold symbolic significance. Red could represent urgency, courage, and sacrifice; blue, trust, loyalty, and knowledge; and white or silver, purity, honesty, and faith. The crest (top of the shield) and any supporting figures (on either side) would further enhance the symbolism and narrative of the arms. The motto "Providing care for the sick and injured" would have been a central part of the visual theme.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
