Symbolism
Flag
The standard combines the emblems granted to Mr. Bourret. A decorative symbol, the standard bearer represents his ancestor Gilles Bourée, dressed in the colours of the flag of the Régiment de Carignan to which he belonged. The base alludes to Charlesbourg, near Quebec City, a region known for wheat growing and its elm trees, where he settled in the 17th century.
