Start time: 9:00 AM sharp

👟 Footwear Policy
We have a no outdoor shoe policy, so please bring a clean pair of indoor fencing shoes to change into before stepping onto the piste.
🚗 Parking, Transit & Spectators
There is free street parking around the club, but space can be limited — we recommend carpooling whenever possible to help ease congestion.
For those taking transit, both Brentwood and Holdom SkyTrain stations are about a 12-minute walk from the club.
Due to space limitations, we unfortunately cannot accommodate indoor spectators. However, you're welcome to watch from outside if you’d like!
💧 Water, Snacks & Eating Policy
We recommend that participants bring their own filled water bottles.
If you need snacks or drinks, there is a convenience store in the plaza nearby.
Please note: no eating is allowed inside the facility.
👕 Changing Rooms
Please be aware that we have only one washroom and an open gear-up area (no private changing rooms).
To minimize wait times, we recommend arriving dressed to fence. If you need to change, please do so before arriving when possible.
