Description of the flag

Saint-Siméon is a municipality in the Charlevoix-Est Regional County Municipality in Québec, Canada.
Founded in 1869, it was named after Saint Simeon of Jerusalem.
There are 1,200 inhabitants on 12.3 km².
The municipality was formed as a parish municipality in 1869 when it was separated from Saint-Fidèle-de-Mont-Murray (now part of La Malbaie). In 1911, the main village was separated from the parish municipality and incorporated as the Village Municipality of Saint-Siméon.
In 2001, the two municipal entities were rejoined as the new Municipality of Saint-Siméon.

The flag in front of the town hall has been replaced at some point between 2013 and 2018. In 2018, the flag was white with the logo and the names of the 4 villages of the municipality below:
