Sport Systems is proud to announce the successful completion of another high-quality spectator seating project in Ontario, this time at Emily Carr Secondary School in Vaughan, part of the York Region District School Board.

This project holds a special place in our hearts at Sport Systems Canada. We could not have pulled it off without the expertise and dedication of our trusted dealer and installers at Coastline Specialties.

The Canada Summer Games arrive only once every four years, rotating to a new host city each time to showcase the country’s brightest young athletes across multiple sports. In 2025, the honour went to the breathtaking city of St. John’s, Newfoundland. For our partners at Coastline Specialties, the project landed right in their hometown, placing them front and centre as the lead contractor on a landmark local project.

We're thrilled to celebrate yet another standout collaboration with our long-time dealer and partner, Sparks @ Play, based in Owings Mills, Maryland. In 2024, we joined forces to deliver a custom outdoor bleacher installation at Tucker Field—a vibrant community hub in Bel Air, Maryland. Together, we planned, designed and installed a pair of new custom bleachers for this budding community and the end result serves as a testament to the strength of our cross-border relationships.

We take a lot of pride in delivering top-quality products and installations across Canada (and around the world!). But the real magic happens thanks to our exceptional network of Dealers and installers, who bring local expertise and dedication to every project.

A shining example of this is our decade-long partnership with Interior Visions, based in Dieppe, New Brunswick. 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. Much like all of our dealer network, this collaboration ensures our customers benefit from local expertise, with "boots on the ground" for precise site visits, accurate measurements, and seamless installations.

While most companies and industries today seem to be moving away from phone conversations, here at Sport Systems, we continue to embrace them. 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.

Across Canada, communities are recognizing the challenges of maintaining outdated wooden bleachers in their parks. These outdated structures are often cumbersome, costly to upkeep, and most importantly, fail to meet current safety and building codes. For municipalities looking to modernize, we proudly offer a reliable, high-quality solution that is made right here in Canada.

Doing something of a clean sweep this year, the Township of South Frontenac decided it was time for a complete overhaul of the seating at a number of their outdoor recreational facilities. As part of the sweep, the township’s facilities team and Public Works Department made the forward-thinking decision to replace all aging wooden bleachers. And to make a good decision even better, they went ahead and chose our stellar line of “Gold Model” bleachers to replace them with.

It’s been a little over a year now since we first installed some beautiful bleacher seating at Chatham-Kent’s Fergie Jenkins field. Last spring we were tasked with the challenge of installing a brand new grandstand into the existing infrastructure at the legendary park, a challenge we believe we passed with flying colors. 

Building on our previous success at this beloved ballpark, the City of Chatham-Kent once again came to us with another project for the ball park. 

Nestled in Ontario’s French River or Rivière des Français region, lies the peaceful town of Noëlville. Located about 70km from Sudbury, the town, formerly known as Cosby, traces its roots all the way back to the early 1900s. Named after the river that runs through its small towns, the municipality is also home to the region’s only French school known as École publique de la Rivière des Français.

Serving as home to the Rivière des Français Rapids, the school’s athletic programming supports sports such as volleyball, basketball, and badminton. As the school’s programming has continued to expand, so has its need for additional modern seating to help elevate the spectator experience and support the school’s active athletic culture.

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.
