The four-staged bee-hive symbolizes the four economical activities:
agriculture, commerce, industry, and other professions, while the bees represent
the workers. The bee-hive and the bees represent Saint-Damase's economical
dynamism and the different cooperative movements set up by the inhabitants in
different spheres of economic activities.
The fleur-de-lis symbolizes
Quebec while the blue background represents France.
The maple leaf symbolizes
Canada, while red alludes to England during the Conquest.
The wheat garb
represents agriculture, an important pillar of local economy thanks to soil
fertility; the garb's stylization represents the modernization of agriculture in
the 1980s.
The Latin cross represents the Roman Catholic church while the
double mountain ridge represents the municipality's geographical location,
north-east of Mount Rougement on which proudly stands a cross, a symbol of the
Christian faith.
The key symbolizes the parish's patron saint; the D-shaped
bit stands for "Damase" and the small cross recalls that Saint Damasus was Pope
from 366 to 384. The green background represents hope and the future of a people
or a parish community.
The Latin motto "LABOR ET PROBITAS" reads "Work and
Probity".
