The Theme of 2023: Harmony

Given the rampant social and human conflicts in our current national and global context, Événements Harricana wanted to set its sights on inclusiveness and conciliation this year. The result of openness to others, of empathy and mutual respect despite the differences that separate us, harmony is also synonymous with peace and cohesion.

Artist Marc-Olivier Lamothe has captured the theme in an image made up of a multitude of graphic elements and colours which create, despite their differences, a coherent and balanced whole.

The theme and the visual also remind us that Événements Harricana is now more than the Ultra-Trail Harricana of Canada, but several events that complement and support each other harmoniously.
