The Best Seats
In The House

Heading into Southwestern Ontario, one of our latest projects landed us at Bishop Macdonnel High School in the great city of Guelph. This small city of just over 130,000 residents, also known as “The Royal City”, lies a mere 100km to the west of downtown Toronto and is known for its incredibly low unemployment and crime rates.

With deep roots in manufacturing and educational institutions such as the University of Guelph, this city provides a wonderful location to be a student or raise a family.

Working closely with our partners at the Wellington Catholic District School Board, a project was brought to our attention at one of Guelph’s high schools. Located in the south end of the city, our team was asked to assess the condition of some outdated bleachers at Bishop Macdonnel High School and provide a suitable replacement seating system.

 Known for its vast farmlands and access to water, Campbellford, Ontario is also often regarded as the midway point between the provincial capital of Toronto and the national capital of Ottawa.

While perhaps small in comparison to the above-named cities, Campbellford is home to a number of notable businesses including Church-Key Brewing Company, Biommer Chocolate Company, the Dart Container Corporation (foam cups anyone?), one of the regions last remaining rural cheese factories, as well as the home to the highly specialized wooden boat builder, Clarion Boats.

Located just south of Omaha, Nebraska lies the small town of Springfield and the home of the Platteview Trojans. Home to over 400 students, Platteview High School has been serving its community with a peaceful and top-notch educational experience since its inception.

In addition to a strong academic foundation, the school is extremely athletically focused, demonstrating their belief that participation in sports widens the educational experience, making it all more rewarding and enjoyable.

In the summer of 2019, it was officially announced that the Blasz Elementary School in Phoenix, Arizona would be replaced by a new school honouring a true American Hero.

Patrick Tillman, an American professional football player, left his lucrative athletic career in June 2002 following the September 11^th terrorist attacks and enlisted in the United States Army along with his brother Kevin.

Following an initial deployment to Iraq, both Patrick and Kevin entered Ranger School and graduated in the fall of 2003. Patrick was redeployed and in April of 2004, tragically was reported to have been killed by friendly fire.

Back in the American Mid-West, we were delighted to have been involved in yet another project with our esteemed partners at Crouch Recreation. A family-owned business located in Omaha, Nebraska, Crouch Recreation is committed to providing safe, sustainable and high-quality, durable products to their community and surrounding areas.

Having worked with Eric Crouch and his team on a number of prior occasions, we were once again brought in to help their team with an upcoming opportunity. Working closely with Dr. Logan Lightfoot, superintendent of the Anselmo-Merna Public School, the team at Crouch was tasked with providing a solution to replacing some outdated wooden bleachers in the school’s gymnasium.

Heading west for one of our latest projects dropped us right in the middle of the Treasure Valley. This distinct area of the western United States is made up primarily of lowland areas in southwestern Idaho. Stretching from eastern Oregon, the valley runs into the city of Boise, the most populated area in the state of Idaho.

We were invited by our partners at Hardware Sales & Service Inc., of Boise (HHS Boise) to work on a project they had been involved with at the local Salvation Army location. As an evangelical part of the universal Christian Church, the Salvation Army has been dedicated to its sole purpose of meeting human need without discrimination since its inception in 1865.

Aluminum bleachers are available in multiple designs that offer both versatility and longevity. When you’re ready to invest in bleachers, naturally you want to select a style that suits your facility’s needs and provides the best possible sightlines for your audience.

Here we will provide information on the advantages of elevated bleachers and how the design changes the game on the field for spectators.

For one of our recent projects, we  found ourselves in the picturesque city of Owen Sound, in Southwestern Ontario. Located on Georgian Bay, Owen Sound is a popular tourist destination for Ontario residents, particularly during the summer months.

From a tourist perspective, Owen Sound is known for its access to water in many shapes and forms and for camping and beaching it along the shores of Georgian Bay. The area is also known for a number of spectacular waterfalls located just outside of the city that are perfect for day trips for visitors.

Since the early 1900s, fans have been crowding into bleachers to cheer on their favourite teams. These enthusiastic onlookers seldom allow inclement weather such as, rain, snow, or cold temperatures to stop them from showing their support.

Nowadays, with so many creature comforts available to us, sports facilities are making great strides to improve their guests’ experience and comfort levels even more. With the vast majority of today’s bleachers being constructed with aluminum, bleacher covers can offer protection from seasonal elements and sun damage and can also provide added comfort for spectators. Whether you have aluminum or wooden bleachers, these protective covers can offer several advantages.

Located in central Arizona, just south east of Phoenix, lies the charming town of Chandler and more importantly, the home of Basha High School. Opened in 2002, Basha High School was named after Eddie Basha, Jr., a dedicated community member who called Chandler home until his death in 2013.

Basha High was the third high school built by the Chandler Unified School District and currently has over 2,500 students enrolled. In addition to a high standard of academic accomplishment, the school is home to the Basha Bears, an athletics program that has consistently gained notoriety in the state of Arizona. Early on in the school’s history, their softball team was crowned state champions in 2008 and 2009, volleyball state champions in 2019 and boy’s basketball state champions in 2017. In addition to those accomplishments, their cheerleading team is a five-time winner of Arizona’s co-ed Cheer State Champions.
