Feb 25th update

25/2/2020

 
A few announcements, and reminders:

1. Tuesday Elite training will start at 6 pm, rather than 5 pm due to coaches being unavailable.  Otherwise, all trainings are as usual with the exception of Saturday footwork trainings which will resume in April due to a tournament each weekend in March.

2. A reminder of the Toronto International Youth Challenge, the Ontario Provincials and the Vango Young Tigers Cup (Apr 11-12, details to follow on OFA webpage).  Please register if you can, supporting tournaments is a real help for our experiences and the sport.

3. This Friday to Sunday is the Ontario Winter Games in Barrie and Orillia, and best wishes to Blake Degroot, Ellie Davies and Spencer Orr for their selection to the games.  For most fencers, the Ontario Games are the first truly large scale games leading to the Olympics or the PanAmerican or Canada games.  This is a sleep over, large multisport event with opening ceremonies and all kinds of fun.  Congratulations to them and their families.

You can follow the games at:

​
4. Finally, congratulations to Isabella Sabatini who was selected to fence in the PanAmerican Championships in San Salvador this year.  Isabella started her fencing here in Stratford before moving to Toronto.  SFO wishes her all the best.

Congratulations
 
to SFO alumni: Gareth Marks (Waterloo), Justin Quong (Waterloo) and Ben Laurin (Queen's) for results in the OUA Men's Championships.  Marks took the GOLD in men's individual foil, while he and Quong took the BRONZE in men's team foil for the Waterloo Warriors (photos here).  Laurin's Queen's Golden Gaels took the overall BRONZE for accrued results in all three weapons.  Alumni Siobhan Drysdale competes for the University of Toronto this weekend.

Some reminders:

1. Payment for SFO jackets and tshirts is due - and should be done via cheque or cash as we do not have the online store set up for this.
​
2. All competitive fencers should consider participating in the Toronto International Youth Challenge in March at the CNE grounds in Toronto.  It will be a great expereince in a fantastic location.  The hotel rate listed expires on 12th February.  You will not find a better rate closer to the venue.
