Saint-Malachie

La Crapaudière, the mountain named after the toad invasion (from the French crapaud), once an operating ski hill, is now a special tourist attraction where people gather to hike and enjoy the scenery.

[citation needed] Henderson Manor, a historical landmark, is located along the Etchemin River at the south end of the village.

The colour yellow represents Saint-Malachie's dominant industry, agriculture; namely, the farming of poultry, dairy, beef, and pork products.

[4] Three white-tailed deer, which are omnipresent in the municipality's landscape, stand on a grassy mound set with lilies, roses, shamrocks, and thistles, wearing coronets adorned with maple leaves and fir cones.

[4] The thistles are a nod to the region's early Scottish landowners, while the shamrocks represent the Irish migrants who settled there in the 19th century, whose legacy has left a lasting imprint on the local culture.

[7] Saint-Malachie follows the four distinct seasons of spring, summer, winter and fall and it is located in the northeastern tip of North America.

[9] In 2009, the non-profit Portage rehabilitation center for youth dealing with substance abuse issues was established in Saint-Malachie.
