Maia is currently a coach at Lightening fencing club and has coached various community projects and camps over the past 8 years for kids, teens and adults. She is a former international competitor within the sport of fencing and has competed and placed in various events across Canada and the U.S. When she isn’t attending zoom university, you can usually find her in the gym coaching or at practice with Manitoba’s provincial fencing team!
I started my fencing journey here at lightning fencing club when I was 13, I am now 24 and have loved the sport ever since. I competed on the provincial fencing team a few years in, alongside some of the other great coaches at this club. These days I am an insurance broker and try and spend as much time as I can outside when I’m not working. We take pride in trying to provide a fun but constructive environment for our athletes to thrive and believe everyone should give fencing a try!
Interim President
Treasurer
Hi everyone! I am Adina Lakser and I have just joined the LFC Board as
Treasurer. As my family has been involved with LFC for a number of years--my
son Noah is a foilist and my daughter Lilly fenced until a couple of years ago--I
look forward to getting more involved. My professional background includes
coordinating community-based projects to address health inequities and a home-
based relationship coaching business. In these positions, I have developed skills
in project management, including financial and budget management, which, I
believe will be useful in my new role. I look forward to working with the LFC
Board and the community of fencers and families.
