Moving Across Provinces this Summer?

Summer is Canada’s busiest moving season, whether you’re relocating for a new job, heading home from school, or giving your family a fresh start. With high demand for movers in Victoria, Toronto, Calgary, and beyond, planning isn’t just thoughtful; it’s essential.

At Bighorn Moving and Storage, we help people move confidently across Canada with a proven process that minimizes stress and maximizes peace of mind.

Here’s your ultimate summer relocation checklist, plus a few insider tips from our expert long-distance movers.

6 Weeks Out: Start Planning Early

• Get multiple moving quotes from reputable long-distance movers in Canada.

• Lock in your preferred dates (summer fills up fast).

• Decide on services: full-service packing, container storage, or hybrid.

• Inventory your items and donate or sell what you don’t need.

Tip: Use a moving checklist to stay on track and avoid last-minute panic.

4 Weeks Out: Book and Prep Logistics

• Confirm your move with a professional team.

• Book ferries, parking permits, etc., in cities like Vancouver or Toronto.

• Arrange for container storage rentals if you’ll need temporary space.

• Notify utility companies, Canada Post, and insurance providers.

Need storage in Kelowna? We offer secure storage containers in the Okanagan.

2 Weeks Out: Pack Smart

• Start with non-essentials and label boxes clearly.

• Pack a "first night" bag with essentials.

• If you’ve got a piano, fragile art, or antiques, talk to us. We specialize in piano movers and delicate items.

• Prep kids and pets for the change.

Pro Tip: Our movers bring all the gear, from moving trucks to padding and wraps, so you don’t have to lift a finger unless you want to.

Moving Day: Breathe. We’ve Got This.

• Keep important documents and valuables with you.

• Let your movers know which boxes are high-priority or extremely breakable.

• Our team handles the heavy lifting, including furniture, electronics, and specialty items.

Expecting commercial or office movers? Businesses also trust our team for secure, efficient relocations.
