What do these tactical symbols on Canadian Fireflies mean?

I'll take a wild guess and say probably squadron markings.

Dave has it.

The Diamond indicated HQ squadron

Triangle was A Squadron

Square was B squadron

Circle was C squadron

I almost forgot...The colour of the symbols also meant something.

Red was the senior regiment within the division.

Yellow the second regiment.

Blue the junior regiment.

For a independent regiment white was used.
