Flag is a green/white/green pale, with a very wide white center. Municipal
arms are on the white center.
Dave Fowler, 20 February 2022
The arms, designed in 1986 by heraldist André Genest, from Montreal, replaced
the arms originally designed in 1957 by the Canadian College of Arms of
Montreal.
The arms are "Quarterly, 1. and 3. Argent semy of forget-me-not
azure leaved and slipped vert botonny gules, 2. Azure a wheat sheaf or, 4. Azure
three acorns or, superimposed by a fess gules charged with a wheel argent.
The forget-me-nots recall that Warwick was awarded the title of "Flowered
Village" for four years in a row. The wheat sheaf connects the pioneer work of
the early colonists and that of present-day's farmers. The acorns evoke the
Bois-Francs region and its resources for sylviculture.
The red fess
represents a knight's belt, suggesting the continuity of human adventure along
history. The wheel represents progress of ingenious people who developed
industrial infrastructure.
Red evokes charity and justice. Argent stands
for victory, purity and beauty, here representing the sober victory of
industrial man over respected nature. Or evokes justice, faith, force and
constancy, symbolizing people's connections with ancestral values. Blue
symbolizes knowledge, loyalty and clarity; associated with argent, blue evokes
the evolution of a community heading to a measured progress, respecting
fundamental values.
