<title>Policy for Visor Masks in Foil and Epee</title>
<link>http://www.fencing.ca/english_index.html</link>
<description>&lt;font size="1"&gt;11 February 2010&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
In light of the FIE decision to ‘suspend and forbid’ the use of the visor mask at foil and epee, the CFF will no longer permit any athlete in foil and epee to wear a visor mask at CFF hosted competitions effective the start of the 2010-2011 season. This allows a period in excess of six months for athletes to equip themselves with replacement masks. In the interim, the CFF recommends that visor masks not be worn in foil or epee by athletes.

<description>&lt;font size="1"&gt;11 February 2010&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The CFF Board has been leading a strategic plan development process with the assistance of an external consultant who is very experienced in this area.  At the 2009 AGM, the members identified some key areas of activity.  Before moving forward, we would like to gather feedback from all levels within the CFF Licenced members, from coaches, athletes and referees, and from administrators to volunteers.&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;
    &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fencing.ca/cff_strategic_direction_2010_en.pdf"&gt;Key strategic issues identified by the membership&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
