Symbolism
Arms
The colour green represents the richness of the land, the economic base of the municipality. The wings refer to the parish’s patron saint, the Archangel Michael. The municipality’s name is represented by the small shield depicting the arms associated with the Drummond family from Scotland. The potato plant symbolizes the principal resource of the municipality.
Motto
This Latin phrase means “May it live, flourish, and grow” and alludes to the potato plant and, by extension, the principal industry of the municipality.
