Horizontally divided, upper part (2/3) white, lower part (1/3) blue,
with logo in the center.
The flag can be seen in front of the seat of the
former Signals office, now a museum where visitors can discover how flags,
optical signs and the telegraph were used for maritime communications.

Horizontally divided, upper part (2/3) white, lower part (1/3) blue, with
logo in the center.
The logo of Batiscan was designed in April 1997 by
Lyne Massicotte, during the campaign against the closure of the village
school. As a reference to the protest movement, the themes expressed in the
logo were dynamism and solidarity.
The three yellow-blue-yellow
horizontal lines and their shade gradient symbolize joy of living in
Batiscan under the sun.
Blue is the color of the water of river St.
Lawrence.
Yellow is the color of the reverberation of sun rays into the
river.
Letter "i" represents an inhabitant of Batiscan, surrounded by
letters "s", representing all the other inhabitants and solidarity.
