Exclusive Hussey Seating Company and Hussey Seatway dealer for British Columbia, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut.
TaLedi at a glance
A territory that includes coastal BC, the interior, the Yukon, the full Arctic, and every community in between. Founded by Scott Augustine and operated as a one-principal dealer, TaLedi delivers the full Hussey product line under the Canoe Procurement Group cooperative contract #081523-HSC.
Telescopic platforms (MAXAM, MAXAM+, MXP). Fixed audience seating (Quattro Collection, Fusion, Legend). Beam-mounted arena chairs through the Hussey +Camatic partnership (Quantum, Forte, Evoke, Activa, Clarity Sport). The Hussey Seatway TP performing-arts platform and full chair line (Metro, Logix, Perseo, Arts, Space).
Roughly a third of Canada’s land mass. Four building codes. Multiple language groups. Several dozen communities accessible only by sealift, winter road, or air. Sealift deadlines and winter road windows aren’t a logistics exotic — they’re how we schedule.

The manufacturer
Hussey Seating has been building spectator seating since 1835. North Berwick, Maine — same factory, same engineering discipline for 190 years. The bleachers, audience chairs, and arena platforms that fill North American gymnasiums, theatres, and stadiums largely come from there.
1835
ICC-ES structural certification. 30-year service life. Limited Lifetime warranty on fixed seating; 10-year structural understructure on MAXAM, MAXAM+, and Seatway TP. That’s the manufacturer side of the relationship.
In 2023, Hussey expanded the lineup through the +Camatic partnership — the Australian beam-mount arena chair family behind SoFi Stadium and Wimbledon. For our territory, that changed what was buyable overnight.
Quantum, Forte, Evoke, Activa, Clarity Sport — none of the family shipped through a Canadian dealer before the partnership. Quantum and Forte ship today; the rest of the family lands Fall 2026 — on a Canadian contract, with one phone number for BC, Yukon, NWT, and Nunavut.
The Hussey promise is only as durable as the dealer. If the distributor is a call-centre with a rotating account manager, the promise breaks at the handoff. If it’s a one-person operation with a direct line to the factory and a Factory-Certified installation partner on the ground, the promise holds.
That’s the model. One principal. One phone number. One continuous relationship from the first discovery meeting through the twentieth-year service visit.
Four venue paths
Every TaLedi project starts from the venue, not the catalogue. Four routes cover the work.
01 · Gymnasium
MAXAM telescopic for the standard build, MAXAM+ when the program is more demanding — full-size arenas, varsity programs, performing-arts crossover. Quattro for fixed sideline seating. One floor handles assemblies, PE, athletics, and graduation.
02 · Multi-Use Auditoriums
MXP and MAXAM+ telescopic platforms paired with the Quattro Collection for fixed seating. The configuration that handles assemblies, performances, and athletic events without compromising any of them. Power retraction, barrier-free reconfiguration.
03 · Theatres & Lecture Halls
Hussey Seatway TP — the performing-arts retractable platform — paired with the chair line: Metro, Logix, Perseo, Arts, Space. Quattro Art for fixed audience seating. Silent deployment, partial-opening, photo-luminescent aisle nosings.
04 · Stadium & Arena
MAXAM+ telescopic plus the Hussey +Camatic beam-mount chairs — Quantum, Forte, Evoke, Activa, Clarity Sport. The lineup behind SoFi Stadium and Wimbledon. Quantum and Forte shipping now; the rest of the family lands Fall 2026.
Engineered three ways
A spectator seating system gets evaluated three times in its life — by the inspector who signs off the install, by the people who operate it daily, and by the facility budget over a 25-year cycle. Hussey is engineered for all three.
The mechanics that pass inspection.
The mechanical answer to the question every inspector, insurer, and code official asks before signing off — published, tested, and referenced. ICC-ES ESR-5033 on the structural side. CWB W47.1 Div 3 (Code HUSSE1) on the welding. Seismic PE stamp letters on file before the submittal package goes out.
The system in daily operation.
The custodian’s view. The events manager’s view. The rec coordinator’s view. The people opening, closing, cleaning, and resetting the system on a working day — not specifying it on a procurement form. Wireless RFID power pendants. Snap-in cushion replacement — no chair removal. Silent deployment in performing-arts halls.
The system over a 25-year cycle.
The total-cost-of-ownership view. What the system demands of the building and the facilities budget over the life of the install — and what it doesn’t. Lubrication-free for life. In-territory service from BC to Baffin Island. OEM parts from the Maine factory in original configuration.
Procurement · how to engage
Canoe Procurement Group cooperative contract #081523-HSC is the competitive purchasing mechanism already in use across Canadian municipalities, school districts, post-secondary institutions, and health authorities. It satisfies three-quote requirements. It produces the audit paper trail your policy requires. It carries no protest risk — because it isn’t a tender.
“Tell me about the space.”
