Fencing
The sport of fencing has been a core participant in the Ontario Games program. Until 2008 fencing was considered a winter sport in the Ontario Winter Games. In 2010, we participated in the Ontario Summer Games for the first time. The change was made to bring us in line with our other major games programs, (Canada Summer Games, Pan Ams, Summer Olympics), to give us a full season for selection, and to cause less intrusion into the participants’ academic lives.
The athletes in the 201 program will be selected from the Y14 and the Y16 age groups. For the full Ontario Games fencing program, including selection criteria, watch this site.
