The municipality of Saint-Camille-de-Lellis (904 inhabitants in 2006; 25,208
ha) is located in Les Etchemins Regional County Municipality, Region Chaudière-Appalaches.
Saint-Camille was settled in 1885. The early colonists required in 1896 the
erection of a new parish, which was accepted but implemented only in 1898; every
colonist claimed to have the new church built in his own yard, therefore the
religious authorities decided to build the sanctuary farther in the woods. The
parish was canonically erected in 1903, while the municipality of
Saint-Camille-de-Lellis was established the next year (1904). Most of the
original village, including the church, was destroyed in 1925 by a blaze that
broke out in a warehouse. The new church was consecrated in 1928.

founded the Order of Clerks Regular, Ministers to the Sick (M.I., Camillians),
formally recognized as a Congregation in 1586 by Pope Sixtus V, and as an Order
in 1591 by Pope Gregory XV.

The coat of arms of
Saint-Camille-de-Lellis was designed in 1989. The red escutcheon charged with a
yellow cross is a symbol of Christian faith. As a component of the coat of arms
of the municipality of Sainte-Justine, it recalls that the contribution of the
colonists from Sainte-Justine to the erection of the parish of Saint-Camille.
The five white fleurs-de-lis placed on a blue chevron represent the five
neighbouring parishes. The moose and the trout represent hunting and fishing,
respectively, two popular sports in the area. The crops and the mountains
represent the geographical location of Saint-Camille, in Lower Bellechasse. The
maple leaves represent our country. The conifers represent lumber industry.
