More Than a Moving Company
We've been part of Winnipeg's fabric for over 11 years. That means giving back — through jobs, partnerships, and showing up when it matters.
Indigenous Youth Employment
We actively recruit and hire Indigenous youth across all parts of our operation — from entry-level moving crew to driver training, dispatch, and logistics coordination.
Many of our longest-serving team members started here at 18 or 19 with no experience and grew into senior drivers and crew leads. That's the pipeline we're proud of.
A real job, real training, real pay. No contracts, no barriers. Just show up ready to work.
Community Partnerships
We work alongside organizations that share our values — Indigenous community groups, social enterprises, and local non-profits making Winnipeg stronger.
Housing Transitions
We partner with housing support organizations to help families in crisis move safely — offering reduced-rate or subsidized moves when community need is high.
Skills Training
We participate in Indigenous skills development programs, offering real job placements for participants completing moving and logistics training.
Northern Communities
We deliver to remote First Nations communities — furniture, appliances, household goods — where access is difficult and commercial services are rare.
Métis Nation of Manitoba
We maintain alignment with MNO's business and community priorities, ensuring our procurement and hiring practices reflect Métis values.
Youth Sports & Programs
Local sponsorships for Indigenous youth sport leagues, cultural events, and after-school programs across Winnipeg.
Responsible Disposal
We divert usable furniture and household items to local charities and re-use centres instead of landfill — because waste isn't our way.
Moving With Responsibility
From route optimization that reduces fuel use, to blanket wrapping that avoids single-use plastic, to donating unwanted items instead of dumping them — we try to leave every community better than we found it.
Optimized routes reduce fuel use and emissions
Reusable moving blankets — no single-use plastic wrap
Furniture and goods donated, not dumped
