"Vert a river argent in bend charged with a wheel azure surrounded in base by
a wheat garb or tied azure in chief by a tree leafed or trunked and slipped
sable. A chief or charged with two keys sable in saltire headed dexter with a
fleur-de-lis azure sinister with an English rose gules. The shield supported
with two branches each composed of four fleurs-de-lis azure on two maple leaves
gules. Beneath the shield a scroll or inscribed with the motto "Fierté et
prospérité".
The river argent represents river Noire, which was for the
pioneers both an obstacle and the first industries' power. The wheel symbolizes
the first mills and the municipality's present industrial increase.
Wheat
recalls the work of the first colonists who cleared the land and sown crops. It
evokes the parish's agricultural orientation through its numerous and diverse
crops and animal farms. The tree represents the ancestors' first source of
income: the commerce of Canadian hemlock bark, potash, timberwood, and maple
sugar. It symbolizes the municipality's family that has been blossoming for more
than 150 years.
The fleur-de-lis-headed key represents the church
government, while the fleur-delis symbolizing France recalls the Roman Catholic
religion and the French language. The rose-headed key represents the
municipality established by the English colonial authorities. The crossed key
represent the respective power of the two entities that act together with the
citizens to carry on work started in the past.
The fleurs-de-lis, the emblem
of the French monarchy, symbolize Quebec people, while the maple leaves evoke
Canada.
