Coat of arms and logo's Français
Coat of Arms of Ville de Saint-Lazare
As part of its 100th anniversary celebrations, the Town decided to endow itself with an official coat of arms. We owe artist Robert Rozon for today's coat of arm which he created in 1975 with the following description:

Armoiries de St-Lazare  « Patience vaincra » or patience will prevail, represents the leaders and citizens’ determination to protect their environment, their institution and their identity

The bend symbolises the railway track and the aviation runway. The three shells (charges of the bend) represent the origin of Ville de Saint-Lazare (whose territory was once submerged by the waters of the Champlain sea) and the water springs of the Town.

At the sinister end of the shield, a fleur-de-lys represents the French-speaking population and at the dexter base point, a rose represents the Anglo-Canadian element. The branches to which are attached the maple leaves and which serve as support to the shield, symbolise the allegiance of our Town to Canada; the leaves represent the green spaces and the residential character of our Town.

The mural coronet with which the shield is crested, is the emblem of the dignity and of the fortress of a Town. The lion bust which surmounts the mural coronet signifies : rising Town, prestige and honour. It symbolises the growth of our Town.

Municipal Logo
Adopted in 1993 and presented by Terry Oliver, the Town logo represents the many special qualities attributed to Saint-Lazare, some of which are its sand, water, abundant trees, equestrian farms and an undeniable quality of life, to name a few.
Le logo de la Ville In 2008, the Town updates its logo to meet the requirements of the Office québécois de la langue française. From now on, the St is written in its long form.
125th Anniversary Logo
Marie-Christine Marineau, a 10-year old Grade 4 student at Auclair School, created the logo for St-Lazare's 125th anniversary celebrations. In the centre, a church steeple and the number 125, representing 125 years of our history, from 1875 to year 2000. On the left, two trees, a conifer and a deciduous, images of the nature surrounding St-Lazare. In front, two horses tête-à-tête, representing the robust equestrian reputation associated to St-Lazare. The sand constituting an ideal ground for horseback riding, St-Lazare is a place of choice for the equestrian farms.
