Wow, what a Spring Edition! A thousand thanks to the amazing authors, dedicated volunteers, insightful audiences and generous sponsors.

It feels like a new beginning for the Festival in so many ways - with our spectacular new venue, record-breaking audiences and so much inspiration on-stage and off. Thank you, Ottawa, once again, for welcoming our guests from near and far and for showcasing our community's generosity, intelligence and heart.

Check out some of the great photos from the Spring Edition here, and be sure to visit our YouTube channel to watch selections from the readings on video.
