Before your van foreman completes loading, give him/her a phone number where you can be reached once you leave. It is VERY IMPORTANT to provide an alternative contact number in case you cannot be reached in your new home.
As Kamloops Movers we’re used to moving families with dogs or other pets. But, sometimes we forget that our furry four legged friends don’t deal with change as well as we do. Before you begin your move it’s important to scope out the new neighborhood and look for dog friendly parks, beaches, or even a nice path for walks.
Aside from scoping out the neighborhood there are some common tips for moving with dogs.
It’s that time of the year when the city of Kamloops goes on official flood watch. Flood watch, is the one side-effect of enjoying both the wonderland that winter brings and the at-times sudden arrival of warm spring weather in this region where the Thompson Rivers convene.
Our Kamloops moving company will admit that spring may be a little slow to arrive weather-wise this year in our neck of the Thompson River but it is indeed that time of the year. For many households, this means it’s time for Spring Cleaning.
Aside from being a great incentive to get your kids to do their homework (anything to get out of house cleaning chores) and a way to remove dust, grime, and clutter from your home, it’s a great way to prepare for a relocation. Summer is the busy season of moving and even though you may be months away from a relocation yourself, now is the perfect time to get your house in order with a sweeping Spring Clean.
In this blog edition, our movers in Kamloops provide you with 3 Tips for Spring Cleaning:
Kamloops has long been compared to the small yet burgeoning cities of the old west, minus the high-noon showdowns of course. Even our Kamloops moving company borrowed from such themes when branding our Kamloops moving and storage service. We wear the old western town charm comparison with pride as does the rest of our fine community.
Readers by now know that we use this Kamloops moving company blog for more than offering tips on household relocations and the like. We like to think of this page on our website as a place to come for all things related to the Kamloops community. When an individual or household is considering a move to Kamloops they need look no further than Pioneer Moving as their Welcome Wagon – that’s pure western hospitality!
Expect a few more lights to fill up our Kamloops skyline in 2013
Kamloops This Week reported today that in 2012 more building permits were handed out than within the last 5 years – over $200 million worth in fact. Big projects such as the new Telus Centre take up the lion’s share of the commercial building in Kamloops but a massive number of residential projects will be underway in 2013. Either way, you’re likely to see a lot of construction in Kamloops in 2013 and while some of you may furrow your brows at the sounds of hammers and nails as brick and mortar go up you have to admit that this kind of growth is simply good for our city.
The Holiday Season is a big deal here in the Thompson River country and the staff at our Kamloops moving company is immersed in practically every seasonal activity in the city. As an unofficial community liaison (seeing as we frequently welcome new households into the area) it is important for us to stay in-the-know for all that takes place within Kamloops – including the fun stuff of course. Everyone from office staff to our guys in the moving truck are frequently asked by new households arriving in Kamloops from across the province, country, border, or sea about unique things to do in the city.
With two weeks to go before the month concludes and in the spirit of the Holiday Season our movers in Kamloops have compiled a list of our favorite Christmas events and attractions in the area for you and your family. We welcome you to ring in the season with us and the rest of your new community at any one or more of the following Christmas Events in Kamloops:
It looks like a polar bear, it sounds like a polar bear, but it’s not a polar bear – it’s a Kermode bear. This week our Kamloops moving company caught wind of a new resident moving to Kamloops. We weren’t too concerned about not being contacted for this job since it’s a little out of our league. A rare white furred Kermode bear cub named Clover, abandoned months ago but rescued and rehabilitated over the summer, was at first reintroduced to the wild of Central Northwestern BC near Terrace into the aptly named Great Bear Rainforest. Apparently the furry fella wanted no part of that climate or the isolation because shortly after being collared with a monitor and released he broke free from his constraints and wandered back towards civilization, closer to his human counterparts. After further consideration, Clover was deemed unfit (unwilling?) to live in the Central Northwestern BC wild and the decision was made to bring him here to the Thompson River region to live his many years to come in the welcome arms of the BC Kamloops Wildlife Park.
The way some see it, THIS may be the only parking option available. Good luck relocating your business w/that trunk space.
Staff at our Kamloops Moving Company browsed local periodical The Kamloops Daily News yesterday which reported on a downtown Kamloops forum that took place this week addressing the concern over a lack of available parking in the city core of Kamloops. Neighborhood business owners, big and small, feel that there is a need to bring (i.e. build) a solution so that the public can better enter downtown Kamloops and stay to shop, dine, and enjoy other leisure activities without worrying about whether or not they will find parking to accommodate their tenure in town. As a Kamloops mover we sympathize with the business community on this matter.
We were hoping to see this scene in the Thompson River next year
Our Kamloops moving company kept a watchful eye on Kamloops’ bid to host the 2013 Ironman Canada triathlon. In addition to great exposure for the city of Kamloops as a whole, it certainly would have kept our Kamloops Moving and Storage company on its toes as the next summer season approached. Anytime a big event like that takes place in the region our Kamloops storage facilities are booked up to accommodate the short term needs of the temporary residents. However, as announced this week, the city failed to secure the bid.
It wasn’t long ago that we posted an article about protecting your household possessions during excessive rain season high-water advisories by keeping them in our Kamloops storage facility. Now here we are on the tail end of summer hearing news about campfire bans in the Kamloops area.
The last two months have been drought inducing weeks with barely a drop of rain in sight and while Kamloops tourism is beaming from tourists gracing the city to play on the rolling hilled golf courses and to cool off by taking dips in the Thompson River, the terrain surrounding Kamloops remains susceptible to forest fires. While campfire bans serve their purpose in preventing man-made blazes little can be done to lessen the concern over thunderstorm warnings. The forecast for the next week or so remains sunny with chances of isolated thundershowers which are accompanied by periods of lightning. This scenario creates concern over forest fires and residents with homes in the warning zones are keeping a watchful eye on the sky and landscape.
We sell a complete line of packing and moving supplies, as well as providing professional Packing and Unpacking services.
