Description of the flag

The municipality of Saint-Camille-de-Lellis (904 inhabitants in 2006; 25,208 ha) is located in Les Etchemins Regional County Municipality, Region Chaudière-Appalaches.

Saint-Camille was settled in 1885. The early colonists required in 1896 the erection of a new parish, which was accepted but implemented only in 1898; every colonist claimed to have the new church built in his own yard, therefore the religious authorities decided to build the sanctuary farther in the woods. The parish was canonically erected in 1903, while the municipality of Saint-Camille-de-Lellis was established the next year (1904). Most of the original village, including the church, was destroyed in 1925 by a blaze that broke out in a warehouse. The new church was consecrated in 1928.

The five white fleurs-de-lis placed on a blue chevron represent the five neighbouring parishes. The moose and the trout represent hunting and fishing, respectively, two popular sports in the area. The crops and the mountains represent the geographical location of Saint-Camille, in Lower Bellechasse. The maple leaves represent our country. The conifers represent lumber industry.
