The Best Seats
In The House

In search of a new set of rugby goals for one of their biggest athletic parks, the City of Toronto once again came knocking at our door. Having done a few projects together in the past, they are a group that we truly always enjoy working closely with. When the time comes to outfit an outdoor venue, we are always flattered to make the short list of potential partners. In early 2020, the city was in search of a new set of rugby goals for Eglington Flats, located in the York region. Constructed on the Humber River Floodplain in 1954, today the park is heavily focused on sports, with six soccer fields, four field hockey pitches, a football field, winterized tennis courts and of course, the rugby field.

This week officially marks the start of summer here in Canada and the United States and with that soon comes the kick-off of rugby seasons for leagues across the continent.  Professionally speaking, the USA Rugby League kicks off their season and run until their championship matches toward the end of August.

In addition to these leagues, the sport of rugby will take the world stage for the first time in 94 years at this summer’s 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio Di Janeiro, Brazil.  The last time the sport was played in Olympic competition, the United States claimed gold and is planning to defend its title with vigour when the games kick off on August 5, 2016.
