The Story behind our logo
Jennie worked with Cosiniye Paul, Member of Tsartlip First Nation, who designed the concept for the Fritz Marine Services, Inc., logo.
As Cosiniye says: "it is inspired and comes from the Salish Sea, the life source of most Indigenous communities on Vancouver Island shown in the canoe. The circle represents the cycle of life. The Coast Salish symbols that mirror each other represent the harmony Indigenous people have with nature".
​
We are beyond grateful to Cosiniye for his vision in conceptualizing our love and appreciation for the sea, nature, and ways of life connected to many of traditional Coast Salish peoples who rely on canoes and boats as the traditional methods for transportation since time immemorial.
