What is fencing?

Fencing is an Olympic sport involving competition using one of three weapons: foil, epée or sabre. Each weapon has its own distinct rules, but they share a goal: to score a touch on your opponent without being hit yourself.

Jake Zehr made this video at our club, which gives an excellent introduction:

The Capital City Fencers’ Club gratefully acknowledges the financial assistance of the Province of British Columbia.

We are a member-run non-profit organization!

Members run Capital City Fencers’ Club. Every fencer is a member and has a vote in our general meeting and elections. Members can stand for election to our board. Members set club fees and approve the club budget at the AGM. Read our bylaws and AGM minutes on the documents page.

Our excellent volunteers run beginner classes, repair equipment, and help with tournaments. And we are grateful for the support from Province of British Columbia and ViaSport! Volunteers and grants help us keep our club affordable and accessible to everyone! We don’t want fees to be a barrier to fencing… if you need additional assistance to enroll your kids in our programs, we encourage you to apply KidSport. CCFC is an eligible group for use of this fund. (And if you can afford it, consider donating to KidSport who do such great work!)
