PLAY LONG. PLAY SAFE. PLAY STRONG.

Kids Are Worth It! At Blue Imp, we insist on using superior

materials because we believe kids are worth it.

Playgrounds may look similar at first glance, but

when you take a closer look, you will find big

differences in design, materials and warranty.

Those differences matter to the longevity of your

investment and the safety of your children.

Long-Lasting FunBlue Imp builds products to make the fun last.

Our creative play systems are designed to stand

up to enthusiastic play and weather extremes

while keeping kids active and wanting more.

Leading SafetyAs a safety leader, we ensure that our structures

meet or exceed industry standards and believe that

safety is about more than simply meeting a standard. Our see-through designs

promote easier supervision while our easy-grip steel rail entries and

hammerlock connectors help keep kids safe.

Steel AdvantagesWhen it comes to durable fun, steel rules. That’s why we prefer to design with

steel whenever suitable and possible. Steel is vandal-resistant, weather-proof

and kid-proof. In addition, it is static-free and cochlear-implant friendly. As the

world’s most recycled material, steel is greener, too.

Best WarrantyAs the longest-standing Canadian play equipment manufacturer, we continue to

stand behind our products with confidence, family pride and the best warranty

in the industry.

Made in Canada. Fabricated in Canada. Produced in

Canada. No matter how you say it, it’s a fact we are

proud of. As Canada’s longest standing playground

and park equipment manufacturer, we continue to

fabricate a wide range of products at our facility in

Medicine Hat, Alberta.

Understanding Canada’s NeedsAt Blue Imp, we understand Canada’s climate and

strive to design products that stand up to weather

extremes while offering year-round play value.

Ensuring Quality & SafetyBecause Blue Imp is 100% owned and operated in

Canada, you can rest assured that the products you

buy meet or exceed all CSA standards and were

manufactured under safe and fair working

conditions.

Employing CanadiansBlue Imp provides jobs for Canadians in a wide range of positions, including

research and design, drafting, fabrication, finishing, quality control, sales,

administration, shipping and installation. In addition, Blue Imp’s apprenticeship

and training opportunities help to develop Canada’s workforce.

Reducing Environmental ImpactBecause our products are manufactured right here at home, they are closer

to you, which means less transport and lower emissions, both for your initial

purchase as well as service and parts in the future.

Building a Stronger CanadaAs the engine of the economy, manufacturing fuels other sectors, creating a

multiplier effect that generates wealth and job growth for all. When you

purchase Blue Imp products, you are helping to build a stronger community and

a stronger Canadian economy. As the founder of Blue Imp wisely said,

“What Canada makes, makes Canada!”

CANADA STRONG

Do kids care about the environment? You bet!

And so does Blue Imp. From our eco-friendly steel

products to our PVC-free plastic components, we strive

to choose materials that are positive for the environment

and safe for children.

In fact, when it comes to green thinking, Blue Imp

got a headstart. In the 1930s, long before recycling

was even a concept, Blue Imp founder Simon F. Scott

reclaimed the steel tubing from decommissioned steam

locomotives to manufacture swings.

Leaner and GreenerBlue Imp continues to move forward with lean

manufacturing initiatives to increase efficiency and reduce

waste. From improving energy efficiency to ensuring every

piece of waste metal is collected for recycling, lean

manufacturing helps minimize our impact on the environment.

Eco-Friendly SteelBlue Imp recognizes that steel is an eco-friendly choice for playgrounds. It's one of the

reasons we offer such a wide array of steel playground products.

Steel is the most recycled material on the planet; in fact, two thirds of all new

steel comes from recycled input. Once the time comes to replace your equipment, the

steel can be easily recycled in most communities.

PVC-Free Plastic Components and Solvent-Free CoatingsAlong with steel, Blue Imp chooses materials that reduce environmental impact and

risk to children. Our plastic components are a food-grade polyethylene resin free of PVC,

lead and other heavy metals and can be fully recycled where facilities exist. Our

polyester powder coatings are free of solvents and heavy metals.

Close to HomeBecause Blue Imp products are made in Canada, our products are closer to you,

the customer. The same goes for service and parts. Easier for you and easier on the

environment!

Steel’s long lifespan,

high recycle content and easy recyclability make it more sustainable than other

materials.

To Whom It May Concern,

I am very pleased to provide this letter of reference for BDI Play Designs. The District of

Sparwood undertook a large playground renewal project in the spring of 2015 replacing five of

the community’s playgrounds and the pool slide.

BDI's proposal for the replacement equipment was top of the line presenting the most features

and play value compared the other seven proposals submitted to us through the RFP process.

BDI took great care to ensure they were meeting all the requirements of our RFP and ensuring

diversity amongst the play equipment and maximizing the play value of each playground.

During the installation process BDI crews were respectful of the park lands and neighbors with

no complaints resulting from the demolition and construction process. We were very pleased

with the care taken with the installation and any concerns identified were addressed to the

satisfaction of Sparwood.

BDI also undertook the design and installation of a pool slide. This process was more complex

than first anticipated and resulted in the redesign of the slide portion of the structure. BDI

undertook this redesign at no additional charge to Sparwood and spent a significant amount of

time and resources ensuring the new indoor slide was safe for the public to use and was

installed to our specifications. The public is now enjoying this new feature which is a significant

improvement to the pool. I would like to highlight that the new slide cost less and is a much

more attractive feature than those currently marketed for pools.

BDI’s customer service and dedication to ensuring all project requirements are met was

exemplary and I am please provided this letter of reference. If the opportunity presents itself

Sparwood would be pleased to work with BDI on future playground projects.

Sincerely,

Duane Lawrence Director of Community and Facility Services District of Sparwood

Dear Tanya and Elbert,

It was a pleasure working with BDI Play Designs. You listened to our needs and respondedquickly and appropriately. You were easy to contact, and were always prompt to respond. Youanswered a million questions and genuinely seemed happy to do so. You kept us on track andand on-budget. You were flexible in handling last minute changes, including changes to theborders and the size of the playground a month prior to the build. When the planning teamneeded last minute schematics and posters for special presentations and grant applications,BDI actually had them couriered. We met our deadlines and were successful in receivingdonations and grants as a result.

Although several playground vendors were recommended, we ultimately chose BDI, becausewe felt most comfortable working with Tanya & Elbert; we LOVED the Blue Imp products; andthey were able to provide the most equipment for the same price. We felt confident about ourchoice from the beginning, and now that our playground is built, we can honestly say thatworking with the Blue Imp and BDI teams was the right choice.

We are so happy with the Blue Imp products. They are safe and exciting. The kids are reallygetting a workout, but are having too much fun to even realize it! We also loved the fact that BDIand Blue Imp are Alberta companies - we were buying local, helping Albertans and reducing ourcarbon footprint, all at the same time. During the build, BDI's on-site supervisors, Greg andHope, were excellent. They worked really well with the volunteers, kept everyone on task andensured that our volunteer-built playground was perfectly installed. We even wrapped up ourbuild early thanks to their supervision and our dedicated volunteers!

Our planning team was thoroughly amazed that BDI managed to include everything (seriously!)that the kids put on their playground wish list. This was an amazing feat! We needed a morechallenging playground, which would accommodate our growing school. The kids wanted a funplayground, where they could play 'grounders'. BDI was able to take all of our input to create abeautiful layout.

Parents and school staff are happy with increased visibility, and the new picnic tables andbenches are well-utilized. BDI & Blue Imp were even able to create custom signs in Spanish forour bilingual school. The playground colours are amazing and we keep getting compliments.Parents from around the community are bringing their kids to play after school and onweekends. Our new playground has really brought the community together, and it's evenbecome a “destination playground”, where people from around the city are willing to travel.

¡Muchas Gracias, BDI!

Testimonial

Dorothy Dalgliesh School - Picture Butte, AB

"Building a playground is not something that happens easily or overnight.

Tanya and Elbert at BDI Play Designs Inc. are so knowledgeable and patient

that it makes this process much less stressful. They were always just an email

or phone call away!

Our playground at Dorothy Dalgliesh Elementary School in Picture Butte

took approximately 16 months from our first meeting with Tanya to the

building completion. During that time, I can’t count the number of emails

that went back and forth -not to mention phone calls and face to face

meetings. I had no clue where to start or what building a playground would

entail, but am so glad I called BDI! They came to our site and gave us

invaluable pointers and information about what needed to be done step by

step. They were so patient and supportive with all the changes we asked for

(and there were many) as well as answering the never ending questions we

seemed to have.

Our build supervisor Greg, was also very relaxed and knowledgeable with all

our volunteers which made the build run very smoothly. BDI Play Designs

Inc. genuinely cared about our project and were a pleasure to work with. I

would highly recommend them to anyone looking to build or replace a

playground.

Thank you so much Elbert and Tanya (and staff)!”

Lethbridge, Alberta

On behalf of the board members and ownership group of Millgreen Village, we thank

BDI Play Designs for their tremendous efforts in the replacement of our aged

playground.

After experiencing challenges within the playground marketplace, and with only 120

days left before the first anticipated snow of the year, Elbert and his team were able to

take our vision from idea, to reality.

Elbert immediately listened to our wants and needs, recommended a course of action,

and without stretching beyond our fiscal budget was able to create a plan that worked

for our community.

His team cared for us every step of the way by looking after each aspect of the project

from the removal and disposal of the old materials, to completing and rehabilitating the

surrounding landscape. They kept us informed and flexed the plan when we wanted a

slight change in the course.

This project was a major undertaking for our community and it would not have been

completed on time and on budget without the efforts and support of BDI Play Designs

Inc.
