La Matapédia is a regional county municipality, located in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region of Quebec.
The subdivisions within the RCM are the town of Matane, seven municipalities and three parishes:
Villes
Municipalities
Parishes
The current flag is a logo on white. This logo was adopted in approximately
2017.
The human silhouette personifies the men and women proudly living in
the territory. It is also a tribute to the ancestors and to the future
generations.
The fish represents Atlantic salmon, the king of the local
rivers and a distinctive element of history and heritage.
The coniferous tree
evokes the immense forest, which so much shaped the way of life and industry.
The leaf symbolizes agriculture, a landmark of the landscapes and of economy.
Its shape recalls the hills that characterize the topography of the valley.
The wave illustrates the network of lakes and rivers that unite all communities.
It also symbolizes water, a precious resource that is both ubiquitous and
fragile.
