This coat of arms was granted soon after Saskatchewan became a province in 1905 (Aug. 25, 1906, with supporters and crest granted in 1986). The garbs of wheat, along with the green field, represents agriculture, which has long been the main industry of the province. The lions, in the chief and supporting the shield, represents the British heritage of many of the people of Saskatchewan (and is the same as the lions in the chief of other Canadian provinces (N.B., PEI, and the fess of Quebec) and supporting the Canadian and British arms). The deer (as the other supporter) is abundant in Saskatchewan. Both supporters wear traditional First Nations sashes as collars, to show the contribution of the Cree and Blackfoot people to the province; that of the lion bears a pendant with a maple leaf (representing Canada), while that of the stag bears a pendant with a tiger lily (the provincial flower of Saskatchewan, although they don't grow very much there- I suspect this is because of human activity. I say this because I've seen particularly stupid Saskatchewanites roaming Jasper National Park, picking every tiger lily in sight, and complaining that they don't grow at home anymore. If there's people there who will ravage the plants in national parks, it's obvious why there are few tiger lilies left in Saskatchewan).

The crest consists of a beaver (once quite common in Saskatchewan, and one of the original reasons the Europeans came), holding a prairie lily. Above the beaver is a crown, representing the fact that Saskatchewan is part of a monarchy.

The motto reads MULTIS E GENTIBUS VIRES.
