Your Maple Ridge Moving Checklist

1. Book Your Movers Early

Maple Ridge is growing fast, and moving dates can fill up quickly—especially in summer. Secure your spot with Canada’s Most Wanted Movers as early as possible.

2. Sort, Donate, or Store

Before packing, declutter what you don’t need. Donate to local organizations like Ridge Meadows Hospice Thrift Store or ask us about secure storage options.

3. Update Important Contacts

Forward your mail with Canada Post and notify service providers, banks, ICBC, and your doctor or dentist about your new address.

4. Confirm Driveway or Building Access

If you’re moving into a townhouse complex or rural property, check for any parking or access limitations for our moving trucks.

5. Pack Strategically

Label boxes by room and use durable packing materials—especially for moves involving stairs or long driveways. We also offer professional packing services to save you time.
