Moving Tips - Changing homes isn't always easy

We recently moved offices and got us thinking about all our customers that have to relocate to a new home.
While packing, we decided to put together some of the things we did to make our move as smooth as possible. We thought this would be helpful for people moving to a new city, or a new home.


Before you start packing


  • Clean before your start putting things in boxes. You don't want dust coming from the old place to the new one.
  • This will also help you get rid of things you really don't need or want anymore.
  • Once you have sorted the things you actually want to take, you can decide whether you can donate the things you don't need anymore.
  • Separate your items in categories like: glassware, cleaning supplies, bedding, etc. This way when you pack, you can sort things in a more organized way.
  • Label your boxes. By category, or by room, you  can even mark which side must go up.
  • Before you disconnect your electronics, take a picture, this way you will know where all the cables go.
  • Update your address for all your accounts, utilities, and subscriptions several weeks before your moving day.
  • Make sure you have all the necessary to pack, like packaging tape, box cutter, plastic wrap, old news paper (to wrap fragile items), etc.
  • Dedicate your full attention to packing once you start, this will ensure you finish up quicker and in an organized way.
  • Plan the packing day ahead, have food planned out so you don't have to think about what to cook for you and your family.
We have more tips we would like to share on our future posts.

Driving in the city, tips for a safe ride home

It doesn't matter what season it is, if you own a vehicle and drive within a city you know how stressful it can be, or how situations can turn dangerous in a blink of an eye. Here are some tips and ideas that will help you be a safe driver and be secure when you are on the road. Be calm when driving. Before you get in your vehicle, make sure you are calm.

Canada's Gasoline Prices - Understanding Changing Prices

There are several factors that affect the prices at the pumps in Canada. Some prices might change day to day or pump to pump, or even province to province. It’s hard to keep up, but below is some basic information that can be used to understand the fuel prices at gas stations. The price at the pump for a litre of gasoline is calculated by the price of crude oil, the cost of refining that crude, marketing and distribution costs, taxes and, of course, profits to the seller (considering the people/company who extract the oil all the way to the pump with the end product). Prices vary from province to province due to the cost of transportation and taxes provincial and municipal. The amount of fuel a station can sell may also affect end price. Potentially, a station that sells more fuel and other products, may be able to offer their products at a lower price than a station that sells less fuel.
