Successful moves in Northwest Territories require planning around local conditions, regulations, and seasonal factors. Follow these tips from our experienced Northwest Territories moving teams: Timing and seasonal considerations: Arctic and subarctic-plan moves during optimal weather windows when possible. In Northwest Territories, this typically means planning around winter weather (November-March) which can affect timing and access. Peak moving season runs May through September across Northwest Territories-book 3-4 weeks ahead during summer months, or 1-2 weeks for fall/winter/spring moves. Building and access preparation:

• High-rise buildings: Reserve elevator time 2-3 weeks in advance; provide condo board insurance certificates and move-in forms to your building manager
• Parking permits: Many Northwest Territories cities require loading zone permits for street parking-check with your municipality 1-2 weeks before moving
• Extreme temperatures: Coordinate access times with building management for shared loading areas Packing and protection:
  • Start packing 2-3 weeks before your move date, focusing on non-essentials first
  • Use sturdy boxes (purchase or request from Boxly) and label each with room destination
  • Wrap fragile items individually; avoid mixing fragile and non-fragile in the same box
  • Permafrost considerations means taking extra care with temperature-sensitive items
  • Keep essentials (documents, medications, valuables) with you, not on the truck Day-of-move checklist:
  • Clear pathways from rooms to truck for efficient loading
  • Protect floors and walls with padding (our teams provide this)
  • Have parking arranged and permits visible for Yellowknife downtown or urban areas
  • Be available for questions about placement, disassembly, and special handling
  • Do a final walkthrough before leaving to ensure nothing is forgotten
