Significance

Outremont, once a village in the County of Hochelaga, Quebec, is now a suburb of Montreal, situated on the other side of Mount Royal from the core of the city. In the badge the green is symbolic of Mount Royal including a royal crown. The gold is suggestive of the lights of Montreal and the peacock represents civic pride in the community.
