The OFA Policy on Officials

Preamble - Why do we have sanctions?

The Ontario Fencing Association is designated by the Government of Ontario as the sole governing body of the sport of fencing in the province of Ontario. As such the OFA has been given the responsibility of ensuring that people engaged in activities related to fencing are able to do so in a safe and appropriate environment. Sanctions are a key part of this process.
