City

Mont-Laurier is a town and a municipality in northwest Quebec, Canada, in the Laurentides regions. It is the seat of Antoine-Labelle Regional County Municipality.
There are 14,000 inhabitants on 590.76 km� of land area, and Mont-Laurier is one of the largest municipalities in Quebec.
Mont-Laurier is known as the "Capital of the Haute-Laurentides".
In 2003, Mont-Laurier merged with the neighbouring towns Des Ruisseaux and Saint-Aim�-du-Lac-des-�les, with the name Mont-Laurier being chosen for the combined municipality. Following a 2004 demerger referendum vote, Saint-Aim�-du-Lac-des-�les left Mont-Laurier in 2006 to be reconstituted as an independent municipality.

Flag with arms

[[Mont-Laurier flag]](../images/c/ca-qcmla1.gif) image by Olivier Touzeau, 14 June 2020

From http://www.villemontlaurier.qc.ca/DATA/DOCUMENT/Interpretation des armoiries.pdf:
The arms were designed in March 1951 by the Drouin Genealogical Institute, upon request of the Municipal Council.
The raggy bend, in width one fourth of the shield's width, represents timber industry, the region's main industry.
The moose's head represents Moose's Fall, at the origin on Mont-Laurier.
The region's natural environment is represented by the mountain and th river.
The Latin motto reads "Laurel awards Nobleness".

Previous flag

[[Mont-Tremblant flag]](../images/c/ca-qcmla.gif) image by Olivier Touzeau, 14 June 2020

I reproduced this flag from a photo in Jim croft's collection. The color looked black, but it could have been a very dark green. Translated from city documentation:

The logo on the white field reproduces the letters M and L for Mont-Laurier, in a single movement, as a ribbon with looping extremities. Its exterior line and interior space represent a mountainous landscape. Through its color, the logo expresses the dignity and strength of the forests of Quebec's North.

The former logo of Mont-Laurier was actually dark green, see

Agglom�ration de Mont-Laurier

The Agglomeration is a municipal structure equivalent to a municipalit� r�gionale de comt�, within the Mont�r�gie region. It was established in 2006.

It includes:
Ville de Mont-Laurier
Municipalit� de Saint-Aim�-du-Lac-des-�les

It does not appear to have any unique symbology, and shares that of Ville de Mont-Laurier.
