MOVING ETIQUETTE

Whether you are moving into or out of a new space, there are certain things to do to make things go as smoothly as possible. Think of the following tips as ‘moving etiquette’.

• Let your neighbours at both ends know when to expect the movers to pull into your place. Ensure the movers park and unload to avoid blocking anyone else’s driveway or trespassing on other property.

• If you are booking a residential move, try and select 9 or 10 a.m. for your truck to arrive since people who work 9-to-5 are not home. You are less likely to cause them any inconvenience.

• Book elevators in advance in the building you are leaving and the one you will be moving into so you have the benefit of arranging your time comfortably. Check to see if movers are restricted to using specific doors.

• Have your pets cared for elsewhere. Moving means doors will be open for long periods, and animals wandering about can be dangerous for them and for the movers.

• Most people wonder whether to tip movers. It is not compulsory, so it is totally up to you.

• Most moving companies are good about removing packing materials, crates, boxes, etc. when they leave. If anything is left behind, collect it yourself and dispose of it.

• As items are moved out of rooms, sweep, mop and clean what you can. Some people hire cleaners before giving the key to the landlord or new owners.

A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE, WORK AND PLAY FORT GARRY

Fort Garry is a large area bordered by Waverly Street to the west, Jubilee Avenue to the north, Red River to the east and Dalhousie Drive to the south. Home to the University of Manitoba, Investors Group Field, and an eclectic mix of shops and restaurants, Fort Garry offers a combination of residential and commercial opportunities in Winnipeg.

Fort Garry is a large and continuously growing area of Winnipeg with a mix of residential and commercial spaces, athletic activities, and entertainment options. One of the city’s oldest communities, Fort Garry is named for the historical fortification of Upper Fort Garry in downtown Winnipeg, but these days, you’re more likely to run into a university student or football fan than a fur trader.

Residential streets, popular shops, and an expansive university campus make Fort Garry as diverse as its residents. Incorporated as the Rural Municipality of Fort Garry in 1912 and amalgamated into the City of Winnipeg in 1972, it has long been a thriving community with plenty to offer. Crescent Drive Golf Course and Winnipeg Soccer Complex appeal to active residents, while friendly pubs provide opportunities to relax and socialize.

The large, ethnically diverse area of Fort Garry is home to people of all ages and backgrounds. With major draws like the University of Manitoba

and Investors Group Field in the neighbourhood, it’s no surprising that this community continues to attract newcomers. According to Statistics Canada’s recent census, Fort Garry is the fastest-growing Winnipeg area.

Shoppers have plenty of options along Pembina Highway, south Winnipeg’s main shopping district. Sports fans can catch a Winnipeg Blue Bombers or University of Manitoba Bisons football game at Investors Group Field or check out the Fort Garry/Fort Rouge Twins on the ice at the Sam Southern Arena. The University of Manitoba is a major presence here, with many students, staff, and faculty members calling the neighbourhood home.

Conveniently situated in the southwestern part of Winnipeg between the University of Manitoba and downtown, Fort Garry is just

10.2 kilometres from the Winnipeg International Airport. A large number of Winnipeg Transit routes service this area, providing convenient access for commuters. Pembina Highway is a major arterial road that connects Fort Garry to the neighbourhoods of North Kildonan, East Kildonan, Fort Rouge, St. Norbert, and downtown Winnipeg. This mostly middle-class residential area offers a range of shops and services for all budgets, from locally-owned boutiques to popular big-box stores. Students living on or near the university campus can enjoy economical dining options at Best Pizza Donair while couples can savour mussels and gourmet pizza at Nicolino’s Restaurant on their next date night
