The municipality

The municipality of Saint-Rémi-de-Tingwick (474 inhabitants in 2011; 7,380 ha) is located 75 km east of Drummondville.

Saint-Rémi was first settled in summer 1854 by Rémi Grenier, who was joined by another four colonists in autumn of the same year. They were joined by their wives and children the next spring. In 1881, priest Bellemare recorded 187 families paying the tithe.
The parish of Saint-Rémi was established in 1881, formed of the eastern part of the parish of Tingwick; a part of the province of Saint-Paul-de-Chester was added in 1883.

The Flag

Flag is a logo on white.
Dave Fowler, 20 February 2022

The logo was adopted in autumn 2012, replacing a more figurative one.
The two blue lines represent the two watercourses located on each side of the municipality: the Three Lakes and Nicolet River. They also represent the 10th and 11th rangs that cross the municipal territory. The stripes are angled and slightly diverging, being open to the future, to change and to developments.
The two curved lines represent the municipality's mountainous geography. The green line evokes agriculture while the blue one evokes the Three Lakes.
The small buildings symbolize the church, of particular architecture, and the village.
