The Best Seats
In The House

In Canada, public parks are commonplace and easily blend in with the scenery. With convenient access to a variety of outdoor venues, it is easy to forget the intentionality and effort that allowed for these facilities to be built. Wishing to maintain the same proactive approach that established these parks, the city of Cornwall reached out to Sport Systems and requested help in the renovation of several locations. Visiting multiple parks throughout the city, our team ultimately replaced aging bleachers with new, state-of-the-art alternatives.

Vermont, known as the “Green Mountain State,” has a strong reputation for its beauty. With scenic mountain overlooks, thick, green forests and wildlife of all varieties, it’s a dream come true for any nature enthusiast. Despite its breathtaking scenery and often tranquil environments, however, the need for proper law enforcement and infrastructure still exists. Recognizing the need to maintain public safety, the town of Wilmington recently requested the assistance of Sport Systems in the renovation of their police station’s holding cells.

Whether located in urban or rural settings, public parks are commonplace in today’s society. However, while the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association (CPRA) has established access to such spaces a basic human right, the conditions of each park often varies. While upgrading pre-existing parks is easy to overlook or put on the back burner, the benefits that such recreational spaces offer justify the investment of each municipality’s resources.

One of 69 schools in the Anglophone South School District, Glen Falls School represents only a small percentage of the students in Saint John, New Brunswick. While membership among such a large group provides opportunities for collaborations and community, it also comes with challenges. Similar to the way in which a child of a large family may receive divided attention from their parents, small schools like Glen Falls must share the District’s resources with surrounding institutions. Nonetheless, the uniqueness of Glen Falls School cannot be ignored and is even represented by its mascot — a bright, yellow star.

Delays are a normal part of life. While these occurrences remain frustrating, the consequences are usually insignificant. However, for event planners, coordinators and venues, slowdowns are often accompanied by additional challenges. Relying on a timely delivery and installation of new outdoor bleachers, Coe Hill Fairgrounds reached out to Sport Systems for help.

With business connections extending overseas, families geographically scattered, and new vacation destinations continually being introduced, most find themselves in an airport at one point or another. While flying is one of the most common modes of transportation, its biggest deterrent is discomfort. Teaming up to address the potential concerns of travelers, the Halifax-Stanfield International Airport has worked hard to address the physical discomforts of travelers while the US Customs and Border
Protection services (USCBP) maintains safety as its highest priority.

Excellence and hard work are two values that we strive to uphold at Sport Systems. Not only do we look for team members who exemplify these principles at work, but those who apply these values in other areas of their lives. One individual whose hard work we would like to acknowledge is our summer student intern, Brody St. Denis!

Sport Systems has a long and successful history of providing educational institutions with excellent equipment and services throughout Canada and the United States. More specifically, Sport Systems has an impressive portfolio of jobs completed for Catholic schools. Adding to the team’s experience, a project was recently completed for Marian High School, an all-girls Catholic school located in Omaha, Nebraska.

As many athletes know, the best way to improve one’s game is to compete against opponents who are superior in skill or ranking. While this often-humbling experience can quickly help identify one’s weaknesses and ways to address them, a more experienced opponent is not always available. In the interest of keeping up with practice and development between matches, Sport Systems has come up with an effective way for tennis players to improve their solo game so they can then bring their A game to the court.

In almost all realms of life, it is always better to plan ahead to ensure you can accommodate the potential outcome and support your expectations. Most would agree that it is better to be overprepared than underprepared, more important to overestimate your needs rather than to underestimate them. Taking active measures to ensure that they are always able to accommodate their guests, St. Joseph-Scollard Hall Catholic Secondary School invited Sport Systems to return to their school and install additions to their outdoor bleachers.
