The Best Seats
In The House

Any time we get the chance to work with one of Canada's premier institutions, one that boasts a rich history in academics and athletics, we get pumped up. Founded in 1827, the University of Toronto is renowned for its Varsity Blues teams, which compete at the highest levels in university Sports. The swimming program, in particular, has a storied legacy dating back to the 1950s, producing elite athletes and maintaining a competitive edge in national and international competitions. At the heart of its aquatics facilities is the Varsity Pool, an impressive 8-lane, 50-meter Olympic-sized pool located in the Athletic Centre on the St. George campus. This venue supports everything from recreational swimming and instructional programs to high-stakes Varsity Blues meets, fostering a vibrant community of swimmers, coaches, and spectators.

If you’ve found yourself in the middle of a large-scale and completely custom bleacher project, finding the right partner is the name of the game.  With plenty of moving parts, these projects require careful planning and attention to detail. While there are certainly many options out there when it comes to bleacher suppliers, there are few with the expertise necessary to pull off the majority of projects.

Eden High School in St. Catharines, Ontario, has long been a hub for student athletics in the Niagara region. With the recent addition of a state-of-the-art synthetic turf field and track as part of the District School Board of Niagara’s multi-school initiative, the need for high-quality spectator seating became essential.

Pickleball's explosive growth across North America shows no signs of slowing down and indoor facilities are capitalizing on the surge. With courts often booked solid—sometimes 24/7—driving significant revenue for these venues, a growing number of these high-demand spaces are emerging in repurposed locations including former big-box retail outlets and warehouses converted into modern, vibrant pickleball hubs.

Here at Sport Systems, we're proud to partner with communities across the country to modernize their recreational spaces and First Nation communities are no exception to that statement. These communities, in particular, are increasingly turning to us when upgrading their arenas, gymnasiums, and community centers. These projects breathe new life into vital gathering places, supporting hockey, events, and community connection for generations to come.

We recently completed an exciting upgrade at Constance Lake First Nation's arena that perfectly showcases why custom solutions are essential for older facilities.

We're proud to support healthcare facilities across the country with innovative safety solutions and our latest project is no exception to that rule. In doing a great job of highlighting our expertise in designing and installing fire-rated padded safe rooms, we worked closely with a local hospital to help design and build an essential space that would allow patients to de-escalate in a secure, calming environment.

At Sport Systems Canada, we love nothing more than helping schools create safe, modern, and welcoming spaces for their students and fans. That’s exactly what happened this past year when we partnered with Montcalm Secondary School and the Thames Valley District School Board in Southern Ontario to replace their outdated gym bleachers.

Sport Systems is proud to announce the successful completion of another high-quality spectator seating project in Ontario, this time at Emily Carr Secondary School in Vaughan, part of the York Region District School Board.

One of our most recent projects brought us to beautiful Brampton, Ontario, a dynamic city known for its diverse communities and commitment to outdoor recreation. Nestled in the heart of this bustling suburb, Chris Gibson Park serves as a vital green space for residents of all ages that offers a variety of amenities, including a splash pad for summer fun, soccer fields, a leash-free dog park, and even a 1.5-mile loop trail perfect for casual walks or jogs. In addition to all those fantastic amenities, the city was in the process of creating a state-of-the-art softball and baseball diamond and tapped our team's expertise to help keep balls in play.

As Canada’s athletic equipment and infrastructure leader, we're passionate about creating spaces where young athletes can thrive, push their limits, and build lifelong skills. Our latest project at St-Laurent Academy in Ottawa is a perfect example of that mission in action. What started as a historic convent has been reborn as a state-of-the-art facility, complete with cutting-edge basketball systems that will fuel the school's growing athletic ambitions. We're thrilled to share the story behind this renovation and how it helped elevate one of Ottawa's premier private schools.
