Contact Point was first launched in 1997 at a national conference sponsored by The Counselling Foundation of Canada. It was the first website of its kind to offer a unique online space for interaction and networking among career professionals across Canada, as well as provide relevant information, professional development opportunities and resources. Now, 10 years later, Contact Point remains an integral component of the career counselling field in Canada. In April 2007, at the premiere CANNEXUS conference hosted by CERIC (the Canadian Education and Research Institute for Counselling), Contact Point held a reception to celebrate its 10th anniversary.
