Studies in Canadian Literature/Études en littérature canadienne (SCL/ÉLC) would like to announce some upcoming changes to the editorship of the journal. Both John Clement Ball, who has served as editor and then co-editor since 1996, and Jennifer Andrews, co-editor since 2003, have decided to step down and make way for a new editorial team. Two senior Canadianists and long-serving members of the journal's advisory board are taking over their duties. Beginning this fall (2012), Herb Wyile of Acadia University will serve a transitional year as an incoming co-editor, with John Ball continuing to work with Herb as outgoing co-editor. Next summer/fall (2013), Cynthia Sugars of the University of Ottawa will join Herb as co-editor. The journal will continue to be published semi-annually by the University of New Brunswick, with Kathryn Taglia continuing as managing editor.
 
"Herb Wyile and Cynthia Sugars are outstanding scholars of Canadian literature who have contributed actively to the success of SCL/ÉLC as long-time members of our advisory board. As we step down after many years at the editorial helm, we see them as our 'dream team' in leading the journal forward in the years to come," said Drs. Ball and Andrews.
 
"We are excited to have the opportunity to take on the leadership of one of the top journals in the field of Canadian literature," said Drs. Sugars and Wyile. "We look forward to building on the journal’s widely recognized strengths and sustaining its valuable role within our scholarly community. We want to express our thanks to John Ball and Jennifer Andrews, and to the editorial board and managing team, for the confidence they have placed in us and for everything they have done to foster the excellence of Studies in Canadian Literature/Études en littérature canadienne for so many years."
