Hello Fencers
You may have seen today’s Provincial Health Update regarding new temporary restrictions on indoor fitness activities, including martial arts classes. (Yes! Fencing is a martial art!)
Effective today (November 24, 2020) group fitness classes are temporarily suspended until new guidelines can be established. The province expects the new guidelines to be released later this week, after which we will have to update our protocols prior to reopening. So hopefully we can be back next week.
You can read the updated government restrictions info here:
We will provide another club update on the weekend about next week.
In the mean time…
