Village flag

The flag is a banner of arms, granted July 15, 2013. It is blazoned "Vert sem� of fir trees, on a Canadian pale wavy Argent a lozenge Vert charged with a palisade issuant from the base Gules embellished and flying therefrom a flag Argent;".
The palisade within the diamond shape represents a fort and, by extension, Fort-Coulonge, which was originally a fur trading post. The fir trees and the green allude to the municipality�s geographic location, surrounded by forests, as well as its historic and economic foundation. The wavy lines symbolize the waterways bordering the municipality that led to its development.
