One of our more recent projects landed us at Holy Trinity School in Cornwall, Ontario, part of the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO). 

Located in the heart of Cornwall, this vibrant Catholic secondary school is known for its strong academic programs and dynamic athletics department. The school’s sports teams, including soccer, football, and track and field, compete with pride in regional competitions.  Serving as home to the formidable Titans, until recently, the sports field lacked seating, leaving spectators without a proper place to cheer on their team during home games.

In one of our more recent projects, we found ourselves on the beautiful shores of Lake Huron in Bruce County, Ontario. Known for its picturesque sunsets, rich Scottish heritage, and welcoming atmosphere, the municipality of Kincardine offers a blend of natural beauty and small-town charm. 

In late 2024, St. Matthew High School, part of the Ottawa Catholic School Board, took some big steps toward enhancing safety and spectator experience in their gymnasium. Looking to replace their outdated, manually operated, non-code-compliant bleachers with a new set of state-of-the-art motorized retractable bleachers, the school came to our team looking for solutions. 

The old bleachers at St. Matthew’s, like many in aging facilities, no longer met current safety codes and posed challenges for both spectators and staff. Navigating to the top rows was cumbersome, and manual operation placed unnecessary strain on school personnel. Recognizing the need for a modern upgrade, the school board enlisted our experienced team to design a solution.

As with every new project we complete, we are proud to announce the successful finalization of a transformative project for St. Kateri Catholic School in London, Ontario. In partnership with our esteemed colleagues at Worldwide Turf, we designed and installed two state-of-the-art, barrier-free bleachers to complement the school’s new artificial turf sports field and running track, as it prepares to host major sports and track & field events for the region during the upcoming school year and beyond.

Located in the Masonville area, St. Kateri Catholic Elementary School is named after Kateri Tekakwitha, a Native North American who converted to Christianity and devoted her life to faith and sacrifice. Established to serve the growing community in North London, the school reflects a commitment to Catholic education and community engagement.

Located in the heart of Barrhaven, a bustling suburb of Canada’s National Capital Region is St. Joseph’s Catholic High School. As a member of the Ottawa Catholic School Board, the school serves approximately 1,200 students in grades 7 to 12. Renowned for its robust athletic programming, including competitive teams in soccer, basketball, volleyball, and track and field, the school fosters a strong sense of community and school spirit. As part of some recent and much needed upgrades to the busy school, our team was called to transform the school’s outdated and unsafe bleacher seating into a modern, code-compliant solution.

Renting bleachers for your sports facility or event venue can feel like a never-ending cycle of stress, logistical headaches, and unpredictable costs. From last-minute scheduling conflicts to unexpected fees, the "rental madness" takes a toll on facility managers and event organizers. 

But what if there was a way to break free from this chaos while also opening new revenue streams? 

Owning bleachers offers a smarter, more sustainable solution that not only eliminates the pain points of renting but also empowers facilities to host more events and even boost profitability. 

Last fall, we shared exciting news about the upcoming championship-quality baseball diamond at Argus Drive, part of the Town of Truro’s ambitious TAAC Revitalization Project. We’re thrilled to announce that the project is now complete, and the new ball field is ready to welcome players, families, and fans for the 2025 season!

The Argus Drive ball field is a state-of-the-art, senior-sized diamond designed to meet championship standards. Replacing the outdated field at the original TAAC Grounds, this modern facility boasts enhanced accessibility, top-tier playing surfaces, and a design built to host regional competitions. 

We’re always proud to celebrate another successful project with our valued, repeat customers and our friends at Algoma University in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario are no exception to that rule. Their vibrant George Leach Centre, a cornerstone for varsity sports like basketball, volleyball, and more, demanded a seating solution that could keep up with the energy of the school and their budding athletic programming. The school made their goal clear as they were looking to efficiently equip their popular gym with portable telescopic bleachers that were easy to manage, space-efficient, and designed to elevate the spectator experience. Like always, our Kodiak 2400 Series bleachers rose to the occasion and delivered a game-changing upgrade for Algoma’s facilities team and fans alike.

Here at Sport Systems, we pride ourselves on working with indigenous communities across both Canada and the United States. We’ve been working with First Nation communities for decades now and always enjoy the opportunity to learn more about both their history and their plans for the future. 

In one of our more recent projects, we were once again linked up with a Canadian First Nation who was in search of a new and reliable seating solution for the gymnasium in the community’s busy recreational centre.

One of our more recent projects landed us in the beautiful Leslieville/Riverdale neighborhood of East Toronto. Not far from the Don River, it’s also home to the Riverdale Collegiate Institute (RCI), which was founded in 1907 as Riverdale Technical School, and now operates as a public high school, serving around 1,340 students in grades 9-12 under the Toronto District School Board. 

In addition to offering strong academic programming, the school boasts over 90 clubs and teams, including athletics, arts, and social justice initiatives and fosters a vibrant community. In the 1990s, Riverdale Collegiate Institute underwent significant renovations to modernize its facilities while preserving its historical character. The original 1907 building, designed by C.E.C. Dyson had its facade meticulously maintained to retain its architectural heritage. Other  renovations included upgrades to the interior infrastructure, classroom and library upgrades, along with various accessibility improvements to ensure the school remained functional and relevant while honoring its historical significance.
