The Best Seats
In The House

Working within our home province of Ontario, we were once again invited to work on a project with our friends and partners at the Thames Valley District School Board. Overseeing a number of schools in southern Ontario, we’ve had a long-standing relationship with this board and have been a part of many projects within their district that now serves over 84,000 students.

Located in south-central Ontario, the Chippewas of Rama First Nation has long been known as a caring and community-focused area. In what is often referred to as ‘the gathering place’, the Chippewa territory has developed exponentially over the years and is showing no signs of slowing down.

In the spring of 2024, the strong and resilient community of the Rama First Nation reached out to our team to help them improve the athletic space in one of their many community-focused facilities. The multi-use community centre also serves as the gymnasium for one of the local schools and, as such, was in need of something that would help them continue to expand program offerings. 

With the goal of providing local residents with caring and compassionate homes, the Supportive Therapeutic Enhanced Program Services (S.T.E.P.S.) operates a number of community homes in a small community in rural Ontario. Their program is, as the name suggests, very therapeutic, offering adults with developmental disabilities some predictability in their daily routine. With years of experience working with individuals with many different syndromes and various disabilities, their programs are created to give them enhanced life skills, helping them better navigate the world with their unique needs in mind.

Our team was approached by the management team at STEPS earlier this year to help design and install a new padded space for use in one of their residences. Looking to create a safe and quiet space for their residents to calm themselves or to de-escalate, our padding solutions came highly recommended. Given that each and every scenario with these types of padded rooms can be different in nature, they selected a partner with extensive experience in the space and one that can help them design and implement what is required.

Nestled along the shores of Lake Huron lies the city of Sarnia. Long known as the largest city along the great lake, it also serves as a hub for trade and its burgeoning petroleum industry. Aside from the trade industry, the area has blossomed into a family-oriented community and is home to a number of beautiful parks and recreation areas.

As part of a recent project, we were brought on board to help the city with some upgrades to Norm Perry Park, closely situated to the city’s bustling port. Looking to equip this popular park with some new barrier-free seating, the city came to us in search of a fully-accessible and code-compliant bleacher option for the park.

Operating as an independent school in the province of Quebec, St. Georges School of Montreal’s history dates back to 1930 when the institution first opened its doors. Since then, the school has grown to two campuses, including their elementary school in Westmount and their main high school campus in Montreal.

Located in Lake County, Indiana and as an extension of the greater Chicago metropolitan area, we were brought into an exciting project by Lake Ridge Schools. Looking for some improved seating for the Lake Ridge New Tech School, key stakeholders from the school district reached out to our team looking for a few banks of our telescopic bleacher seating units for their gymnasium.

If you, like our friends at the Superior Heights Collegiate and Vocational School in Sault Saint Marie, Ontario, are looking for a fully accessible and elevated bleacher, this might be something you’ll want to have a look at.

With the ability to seat 366 people - including four barrier-free seats complete with companion seating - we designed our new 8-row bleacher model (BL-8TB-81- 8 x 24-36E-BF4) almost specifically for this project. With a fence and a track separating the bleacher from the action on the field, the Algoma District School Board came to us to help them design the right solution for their unique situation.

Heading out to western Canada one of our latest projects landed us just outside of Vancouver in beautiful Coquitlam, British Columbia. Working closely with one of our newest partners at Smithscape Construction, we were brought in to help design a 10-row bleacher as part of some major upgrades to a local park.

Located in a historic district of Canada’s National Capital, the York Street Public School has been a fixture in Ottawa’s Lowertown neighborhood since it was built in 1921. Having been constructed in what is known as the Collegiate Gothic Style, even through decades of development that has taken place around the school, its original design still reigns true to this day. 

When it comes to designing and installing custom bleachers, the market has made it abundantly clear that we have become one of the front-runners in the space. While we certainly do a lot of work in the great outdoors with our outdoor bleachers and stunning grandstands, we’ve long been working indoors as well.

In addition to telescopic bleachers, working inside Canada’s arenas is another area in which we truly flourish. Having been able to work on a number of these exciting and truly Canadian projects over the past few years, we’ve become known as a company that can get bleacher seating done, even in the tightest of spaces.
