The municipality of Kanal ob Soci (Soca being the Slovenian name of the river known in Italian as Isonzo, a site of long battles in the First World War) is located some 10 km north of Nova Gorica, on the Italian border. It was formed in 1995 by secession from Nova Gorica. The town of Kanal is on the site of an important river crossing over Soca, where there is a masoned bridge, as shown on the municipal coat of arms.

The coat of arms of Kanal is with a white one-arched masoned bridge, in chief vert three roses or and in base azure three fishes nainaint one and two. The three roses are not all of the same design: the two outer are identical but the middle one is different. The bridge is, of course, the one crossing the Soca river, shown as the blue field in the base with three fishes.
