Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on July 20, 2006.
The colour yellow represents Saint-Malachie’s primary industry, agriculture (poultry, dairy and pork products). The two croziers symbolize the fact that St. Malachy (1094-1148), patron of the municipality, was Archbishop of Armagh, Ireland. The toad is derived from the municipality’s history, referring to the toad (crapaud in French) infestation of 1873. This event also gave rise to the name La Crapaudière, the mountain in the area. The shamrocks symbolize the Irish roots of Saint-Malachie’s pioneers.
The white-tailed deer is an omnipresent animal in the municipality. The coronet of sheaves of wheat and apples symbolizes the region’s agriculture.
The deers’ coronets of fir cones and maple leaves symbolize the importance of forestry and sugar maple growing in Saint-Malachie. The lilies, roses, clovers and thistle refer to the French, English, Irish and Scottish roots of the townspeople
