Winner Christopher Busset (right, in blue) carried an
impressive lead into the second leg of the Iceman Ultra.
After finishing the run portion, he had completed almost
10 of the 110 laps (40 km) around the ice ring on the Plains
of Abraham before any other competitors joined him. He
is about to overtake Aimé Perreault (left), who finished second overall. (Photo by Cassandra Kerwin)

Michael Audain bids farewell to Chatterie, one of the eight paintings by Paul-Émile
Borduas which he and his wife Yoshiko Karasawa donated to the MNBAQ. A quote by
Borduas in the description beside the painting reads, “In the end, the element of the
world that seems to me most permanent, the only one perhaps, is paint, physical paint,
material, substance. That is my homeland, my earth. Without it, I am rootless. With it,
whether I’m in Paris or elsewhere, I’m home.” (Photo by Shirley Nadeau)
