Flag origin
It incorporates the same colours as the French flag as a sign of the community's French identity. The three green maple leaves on a white background represent its maple country location, while the number three is for the founding communities of Saint-Isidore, Sainte-Marie and Beauceville. The flag was adopted in 1955.
