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.

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.  [Read More](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/blog/a-trusted-partner-for-architects-across-canada) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/blog/a-trusted-partner-for-architects-across-canada#comments) ## [New Hockey Netting for Ottawa’s Tom Brown Arena](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/blog/new-hockey-netting-for-ottawas-tom-brown-arena) Posted by [Ryan Wilby](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/blog/author/ryan-wilby) Sep 30, 2025, 7:13:30 AM # **[![tom-brown-arena-netting](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/hs-fs/hubfs/tom-brown-arena-netting.jpg?width=1000&height=631&name=tom-brown-arena-netting.jpg)](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/hubfs/20250814_104203.jpg)** 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.

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.

While it is something that we consider to be a vital part of our customer experience, it’s also in light of the fact that many of the products we sell are unique and nuanced in design.  One such product category that requires a conversation just about every time we sell them is our bleacher and seating department. With unique capacity and design needs, we pride ourselves on customizing solutions fit to each individual project where required. In addition to mapping out seating requirements, a challenge many buyers are now facing is navigating seemingly complex national or regional safety and building codes.
