This division represents the importance of agriculture to the town's history. A vertical band, known as a pale, is superimposed over the chevron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eCentral Elements and Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe apex of the chevron, where the green and gold meet, culminates in a Celtic cross, a nod to the municipality's Catholic heritage and a cross erected on its mountain.  In the upper part of the shield, two maple leaves, symbolic of Canada, are positioned, while the lower part features a fleur-de-lis, representing the province of Quebec. The elements are “counterchanged” – meaning their colors reverse where they overlap the green and gold fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eGeographic and Historical References\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe three vertical parts of the shield, created by the chevron and pale, reflect the municipality's geographic location between Shawinigan and Trois-Rivières. The point of the chevron, forming a mountain shape, specifically evokes “Mont-Carmel,” the mountain in the town’s name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eCrest, Supporters, and Motto\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAbove the shield, the crest features a golden passenger pigeon, which symbolizes the town's memory of its past and its dedication to conservation. Supporting the shield are two caribou, standing on a grassy mount adorned with the municipal floral emblem, sheep laurel. The motto \"DIVERSITÉ · HARMONIE · UNITÉ\" (Diversity, Harmony, Unity) completes the heraldic composition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"1.5oz","offer_id":51468507054360,"sku":"72221733035133094075","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/blason-ville-ca-notre-dame-du-mont-carmel-canada-coat-of-arms-shot-glass-15oz-15oz-position1.webp?v=1768384390","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/blason-ville-ca-notre-dame-du-mont-carmel-canada-coat-of-arms-shot-glass-1-5oz","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
