Share Article → Hi everyone,
Winter and spring have been very busy for us here at Excelsior Fencing Club.
We have seen an incredible demand for our beginner course. However, to maintain a safe and fun experience for our existing members, we are unable to offer a full Intro to Fencing class at this time due to capacity and coaching constraints.
We are maintaining a waiting list for people interested in joining a beginner class. You can reach out to us using the contact form on our website and we will contact you when spots become available.
Share Article → Happy new year! We hope everyone has had a great winter break and is ready to get back to fencing.
With today's announcement, we will not be able to start fencing until Monday, January 31st (assuming no further changes). The Government of Ontario press release can be found here: https://news.ontario.ca/en/release/1001394/ontario-temporarily-moving-to-modified-step-two-of-the-roadmap-to-reopen
Some notes for when we reopen:
1. The QR code as proof of double vaccination with ID is now required by law for all athletes and spectators 12 years of age or older. Even if we've seen your proof in the past, it must be verified again, or you will not be allowed to participate.
2. If you're paying online, please do so before then, and if you plan to pay in person, we accept cash and cheque (no credit or debit).
3. Please remember to wear different shoes outdoors and indoors. We don't want to be tracking water or dirt all over the newly finished floors.
4. Remember to bring a bottle of water and wear long pants.
As always, please reach out if you have any questions or concerns, and we hope to see you at the end of the month.
Share Article → We have just been informed that the planned work to refinish the gym floors has started today instead of tomorrow as planned. Unfortunately, that means that fencing will be cancelled tonight.
We hope you have a great holiday, and we'll see you on January 10 when the gym reopens for the new year!
