Previous flag

The previous flag of L'Ange-Gardien is vertically divided green-yellow by a blue curved stripe. This symbolizes Rivière du Lièvre (Hare's River) crossing the municipal territory and highlights the two banks on which the town is established. Blue and green represent water and the natural environment.
The green part is charged with two yellow wheat spikes, representing agriculture, while the yellow part is charged with four green firs, representing forestry.
The white "hyphen" in the center represents unity of all inhabitants of the town.

The description on the municipal website uses "trait d'union", that is, typographically speaking "a hyphen". However, "trait d'union" has a more general meaning in French, being used as a metaphor for "link" or "bond". This secondary meaning was probably intended in the official description, whatever the graphic representation of the link is.

A literal description could "the infinity symbol crossed by the blue stripe", which would completely blur the intended meaning of the symbol.
