On 22 March 2018 Roy Christophe Pinette shared Ville d'Edmundston's video with
the FaceGroup. As I understand it, it shows a mayor of a competing town having
the Edmundston flag ready to hoist if a match between the towns should go the
wrong way.
This flag something logo-related, as far as I can see:

White with six blue stars with green shadow, places three by three
diagonally, the word EDMUNDSTON right of the stars in green, and under in blue
letters:
La ville
6 étoiles.
The "6" also has a green shadow. The six stars are probably a
reference to the Legendary Republic of Madawaska
and its flag with six stars representing the six founding people of Madawaska.
Currently, Madawaska is a New Brunswick county, but historically the French
seigneury included what is today Aroostook county in Maine
and Temiscouata county in Quebec. (Seen in 2000 on
the website).

I made the image from one available on the city website in 2000. Adapted from city documentation in French:
The six stars have several meanings: the pioneers who have created a proud and energetic community; the quality of tourist greeting and the leisure installations; the dynamism of the city. The fact that the stars are side-by-side expresses the tightness of the links united the population. The oblique disposition illustrates the desire to always move forward, keeping one's head high. The green shadow projected indicates the distance already traveled, a solid past to reach an invincible future. Blue represents the St. John and Madawaska rivers, while green represents the importance of the foresting resource.
Note: the six stars surely also make a reference to the six stars on the
flag of the Legendary Republic of Madawaska, representing the so-called six
founding people. The inscription "La ville 6 étoiles" means 'The 6
star city'.
