Description of the flag

Sainte-Angèle-de-Mérici is a village in Bas-Saint-Laurent, Quebec.
The flag is a Canadian pale, yellow-blue-yellow, with the shield from the arms centred. The shield is blazoned "Or three chevronels overlapping in bend sinister Vert, overall a bend wavy Azure"
The three peaks represent both the mountains surrounding the municipality of Sainte-Angèle-de-Mérici. The number of peaks refers to the fact that the municipality is formed by two townships (Cabot and Fleuriault) and the seigneury of Lepage and Thivierge. The wavy blue stripe represents the Mitis River, a body of water cherished by the citizens of Sainte-Angèle-de-Mérici. Gold symbolizes the agriculture industry of the municipality.
