Joan Helen Finnigan (November 23, 1925 – August 12, 2007) was a Canadian writer and poet. She won a Genie Award for Best Screenplay in 1969. She wrote over 30 books, many of them oral histories of the Ottawa Valley. ==Personal life== Joan Finnigan was born in and raised in Ottawa. She was the daughter of Frank Finnigan, an Ottawa Senators' hockey legend, and mother Maye Horner, and the sister of Frank Jr, Norma and Ross Finnigan. She was educated at Lisgar Collegiate, Carleton University and Queen’s University. Together with her husband, Grant Mackenzie, whom she married in 1949, Finnigan had three children, Jonathan, Roderick and Martha Mackenzie. MacKenzie died in 1965 and Ms. Finnigan raised the children as a single mother, while supporting the family through her writing. Her daughter Martha recalls as a child falling asleep to the sound of the typewriter at night. Finnigan died in Ottawa on August 12, 2007 at the age of 81. She was survived by her three children and seven grandchildren.
