The Best Seats
In The House

Offering a bit of closure to an earlier post about this specific project, we’re happy to announce that the final installation was completed and the event was a huge success. Working closely with key stakeholders at Ottawa’s RA Centre, we were brought onboard to help close out the Centre’s new Curling Centre of Excellence.

As an international company, this is a question that comes up fairly frequently as it pertains to bleacher seating. With the bulk of our customers situated in both Canada and the United States, being informed on current building and safety codes for bleachers is something we take seriously.

Given that our two countries are so closely situated, it’s always worth remembering that no matter how close we may seem, our rules and regulations can differ quite broadly. While that statement can apply to a variety of other regulations, it’s especially true for bleacher seating.

When it comes to displaying school spirit not many products can match the effectiveness of our GameDay GraFX bleacher logo graphics. Adhered to seating, these digital graphics are printed to each seat to display team names or logos on existing or new telescopic bleachers.

With the growth of athletic programming over the years, both retractable bleacher sales and these state-of-the-art graphics have been in high demand.

While a lot of what we do is larger scale upgrades, in many cases, we are quite well known for the little things.  And as we all know, those are the things that can make all the difference.

One such subset of our product offering that meets the above parameters is our players benches. In some cases we can sell truckloads of them to help set up professional sports fields, college facilities or parks and municipal spaces.

In other cases, some of our customers have a need for just a couple of brand new benches for their athletic spaces.  Working with our friends at a school nearby our headquarters, we were in talks to upgrade some players benches that were completely outdated.  Battered by both years of use and the elements, the school approached our team looking for a more permanent and durable solution for their baseball diamond.

With three campuses spread across downtown Toronto, George Brown College has been a respected institution in both the city and the province since its inception in 1967. Today, the college serves nearly 80,000 students in over 170 different programs. 

We’ve had a long-standing relationship with the college, having worked with them on a variety of projects over the years, we’re proud to have played a small role in the school’s overall growth. With a relationship that spans decades, it’s no wonder when key stakeholders from the college are in need of new athletic equipment or infrastructure are quick to place a call to our offices.

Working in sports comes with a variety of perks and one of the many perks, is being involved in huge sporting events across North America. From the Pan Am games in Toronto, to high school football games in Nebraska, we've been involved with too many events to be able to choose a favorite.

As part of an on-going project at the RA Centre in Canada's Capital Region, our team was brought in to complete the third phase of the RA Centre's Curling Center of Excellence. Serving as the host for the upcoming U-18 Curling Championships, the multi-year plan is finally coming to fruition and we are thrilled to be putting the final touches on the project.

When it comes to municipal parks and recreation areas, many have been slowly transitioning into multi-sport parks. For example, once serving singular sports such as baseball or soccer, these parks are now designed with fields and diamonds for both. With increasing populations and sports programming, municipalities are finding that transitioning their parks and recreational areas to be multi-use is providing the solution they need to serve their growing communities.

While on the surface, these shared spaces serve a variety of purposes and have a positive impact on community participation and inclusion. However, there are situations in which the sports can inadvertently interfere with one another. In many cases, this presents no real risk to spectators or participants but in some cases, stray balls can increase the risk of injury to those on adjacent sports fields or bleachers.

Well, it's officially 2024 and in case you haven't heard; Basketball is BOOMING.

Known as the shire town of Kings County,the beautiful town of Kentville, Nova Scotia was the welcoming setting of one of our most recent projects. As with all of our jobs in the Canadian Maritimes, it’s always a pleasure to work within the beautiful settings it offers alongside the wonderful residents who call the region home.

Earlier in the year, we were contacted by some key stakeholders from the town who were in the process of planning some upgrades to the largest park in Kentville. Established in the 1920s, what is now known as Memorial Park has been growing ever since. What started as a simple athletic field to serve young residents, it has now blossomed to include three tennis courts, two basketball courts, five ball fields, four soccer fields, an outdoor pool, splash pad, skating pond, running track, skatepark, playbox, and the Walter Wood Playground.
