The advent of autumn in Canada also her- alds the beginning of a new academic year. This year we begin our first cohort for the Master’s level Supervision course that opens the door to members obtaining a recognized standard for supervision: Canadian Certi- fied Counsellor Supervisor (CCC-S). The University of Ottawa is hosting this initial online course in 2012-2013. To support this course, CCPA recently published The Super- vision of Counselling and Psychotherapy Handbook: A Handbook for Canadian Certi- fied Supervisors and Applicants. This Hand- book is designed to support supervisors and their supervisees as they develop a positive working relationship that is simultaneously collegial, informative, timely, helpful, and developmental. A textbook focused on the supervision of counselling and psycho- therapy is also under development, with an expected publication date of 2014.


Simultaneous to our work on resources related to appropriate supervision is our at- tention to updating CCPA’s professional eth-


ics casebook. Used in counsellor education courses across the country and beyond our borders, the upcoming 2013 edition of the ethics casebook maintains the same struc- ture as the former version with the addition of chapters focusing on specific contexts, such as rural settings, e-counselling and more.


With a single click, the screen’s lumines- cence fades to black and I’m returned to my own time zone and a silent office. The wind picks up outside and begins to bluster. Do I detect the rustle of autumn leaves on the path? In my mind, they swirl and eddy to become part of the path of our profes- sion in the twenty first century. It is a noble profession you have chosen and its value is becoming more and more recognized world- wide. I turn from the window, glad to be a part of the journey.
