September 13-23: Fifth Anniversary
 The 2001 Festival began the day after the attack on the World Trade Centre in New York City. Despite worldwide flight cancellations and disruption, our authors, volunteers, sponsors and audience came through. Our home page, after the 2001 Festival, read:
Thank you, Ottawa!
For
facing terror, devastation and suffering with such courage, hope and compassion. On behalf of all of us at the Festival, our gratitude goes out to our sponsors, the writers, our amazing volunteers and the thousands of you who came out to celebrate our fifth anniversary in these troubled times.
2002 promises to be the best year yet!
