According to an email received in March 2001 from a city clerk, the logo of
Boisbriand is also the city flag. It is therefore a "banner of the
logo".

Le VERT représente le territoire de Boisbriand : ses zones résidentielles,
commerciales et industrielles, ses parcs et espaces verts, ses terres
ancestrales. L’intensité du vert témoigne de la volonté environnementale de
Boisbriand.
Le BLEU forme une vague dynamique à l’image de Boisbriand : une
ville riveraine active, au courant des enjeux contemporains.
L’ARBRE
symbolise la vie boisbriannaise : son passé, son présent et son avenir. Tel un
arbre généalogique, il est bien enraciné et va vers de nouveaux sommets.
La
SIGNATURE Boisbriand identifie la ville et les citoyens. Le bleu est une
couleur de paix, d’imagination et de persévérance.
Le logo dans son ensemble
reflète le rythme, le dynamisme et la constante évolution de Boisbriand, une
ville attachée à des valeurs humaines et environnementales.

le drapeau devant la bibliothèque de Boisbriand. L'Hôtel de Ville est situé de
l'autre côté de la rue.
