The original flag of Jonquière. The silver represents the steel in the settlers who survive these conditions, while the green represents unspoiled land.
Upon the Fusion Accord of 1837, the flags of Jonquière and Tadoussac were merged to create the new flag of Jonquiere-Tadoussac. This flag was meant to balance the merits of both flags.

A compromise was reached by adding the IDU scales of justice in a rondel the centre of the flag for all dealings with the IDU.
