This project holds a special place in our hearts at Sport Systems Canada. We could not have pulled it off without the expertise and dedication of our trusted dealer and installers at Coastline Specialties.

The Canada Summer Games arrive only once every four years, rotating to a new host city each time to showcase the country’s brightest young athletes across multiple sports. In 2025, the honour went to the breathtaking city of St. John’s, Newfoundland. For our partners at Coastline Specialties, the project landed right in their hometown, placing them front and centre as the lead contractor on a landmark local project.

When our sales team gets a call to replace a gym divider curtain located nearly 4,500 kilometres away, we don’t hesitate, we instantly collaborate. Thanks to our strong network of local Dealers across the country, we’re able to deliver seamless projects from coast to coast and this project was no exception.

Located in the beautiful Fraser Valley, the Seabird Island Band is a proud Indigenous community with a strong focus on education, wellness, and youth development. The Seabird Island Community School serves as a hub for learning and recreation, not just for students, but for the entire community. Like all educational facilities, the school’s gymnasium is an essential gathering space for athletics, cultural events, and community programming so ensuring that it is operating efficiently is always top of mind for operators.

While much of what we do here at Sport Systems is out of necessity, there are some projects that also display how we're passionate about creating solutions that make a real difference, especially when it comes to protecting the most vulnerable. Recently, we had the privilege of partnering with Walk of Grace, a remarkable family-owned organization in the Ottawa-area that is dedicated to empowering children and adults with developmental disabilities.

Here at Sport Systems, we take pride in designing and installing custom wall padding solutions across North America through our trusted network of dealers. This week, we’re thrilled to highlight a recent project completed by our long-time dealer and installer, Ash-Stevenson, based in Scarborough, Ontario. Ash-Stevenson serves the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and Southern Ontario, and has consistently delivered exceptional quality and service on behalf of Sport Systems for a number of years now.

In yet another example of our partnerships working out for the better, we are thrilled to showcase one of our latest projects.. It was here that we worked alongside our partners at Centaur Products to help design and install a custom-designed grandstand for St. Anne’s School. 

This private Catholic elementary school located in Aurora, Ontario, currently serves students from Junior Kindergarten through Grade 8. Founded with a commitment to faith-based education, the school emphasizes holistic development, fostering academic excellence, spiritual growth, and character formation in a nurturing, inclusive environment.

We're thrilled to celebrate yet another standout collaboration with our long-time dealer and partner, Sparks @ Play, based in Owings Mills, Maryland. In 2024, we joined forces to deliver a custom outdoor bleacher installation at Tucker Field—a vibrant community hub in Bel Air, Maryland. Together, we planned, designed and installed a pair of new custom bleachers for this budding community and the end result serves as a testament to the strength of our cross-border relationships.

Sport Systems is proud to be a go-to resource for Architects across Canada for both indoor and outdoor seating projects as well as custom netting barriers across the country.

From the time we make contact, architects across all industries are pleased to learn about our expertise for code compliance across Canada, particularly when it comes to indoor and outdoor bleachers.  As a manufacturer, we have the ability to customize our designs to fit the site restrictions, offer the best possible sight lines and to stay within budget. 

With hockey season officially in full swing, we recently completed a significant project at a beloved community rink in the heart of Canada’s capital. Given the volume of hockey games being played each and every year across the country, our team is always busy leading up to hockey season helping rinks ensure their spectator netting is in the best shape possible.

One of our more recent hockey-focused projects brought us to Tom Brown Arena, a community ice rink nestled in the vibrant Hintonburg neighborhood, just west of the city's downtown core. Opened in 1967 as part of Ottawa's network of recreational facilities, the arena has served as a vital gathering spot for decades, hosting ice hockey leagues, public skating sessions, figure skating programs, and community events in a facility that also includes a single NHL-sized ice pad.

We take a lot of pride in delivering top-quality products and installations across Canada (and around the world!). But the real magic happens thanks to our exceptional network of Dealers and installers, who bring local expertise and dedication to every project.

A shining example of this is our decade-long partnership with Interior Visions, based in Dieppe, New Brunswick. For nearly 10 years, we’ve worked hand-in-hand with their talented team to bring our innovative solutions to life in the Canadian Maritimes with each project seemingly getting better than the last. Much like all of our dealer network, this collaboration ensures our customers benefit from local expertise, with "boots on the ground" for precise site visits, accurate measurements, and seamless installations.
