Social Engagement

Événements Harricana is a non-profit organization that directly and indirectly supports several causes and organizations

Whether local or regional, social or trail-running and ultra-running organizations, Événements Harricana’s goal is to benefit the most partners possible through its activities. Support may be direct involvement through volunteering, consultation, and tool and expertise sharing. It also may be financial support and opportunities for visibility and social outreach. Through creativity and dedicated engagement, we hope that the results of our activities will help build a more cohesive and healthy society.

Our Causes
Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada

Our social involvement is intertwined with the very founding of the organization. The Ultra-Trail Harricana was created in 2012 to raise funds for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, in honour of one of the event’s founding members who has MS.

All of the funds raised by participants go to supporting research into multiple sclerosis and providing services for the 20,000 people in Quebec suffering the effects of this disease.

Since 2012, the event and its participants have donated over $175,000 to the MS Society.

Traversée de Charlevoix

The Ultra-Trail Harricana team regularly organizes clean-up events on the trails of the Traversée de Charlevoix. Dedicated volunteers come together to enhance the safety and accessibility of the trails by clearing brush, removing debris, trimming trees, and repairing structures such as bridges.
