  • BEFORE YOU MOVE - once your move date is set
    • Make your address changes to Canada Post, federal and provincial governments, utility company, family, friends, etc.
    • Make your address changes to the utility companies: cable service, electricity and arrange for connection to the new address.
    • Clean up: It's best to get rid of items you don't need before you move. Fewer boxes, fewer unnecessary costs.
    • Book early! Reserve early: trucks, movers, friends, etc.
    • Elevators at your new or old address: many apartment buildings have fines for unexpected moves.
    • Don't forget to register your children at their new school or activity center.
    • Do you have pets? Think about them and to reduce their stress, have them stay with you on moving day.
    • Gather last and first night's essentials in a cardboard box, such as sheets, pillows, medications and toiletries.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PACKING WELL FOR A SUCCESSFUL MOVE
