Cassidy's Moving & Storage

Cassidy's Moving & Storage Founded in 1908, we're one of Canada's largest international moving companies. You can also buy or rent shipping containers through our team.

We provide local moving services in Ottawa and Pembroke, as well as long distance and international moves. Company History

Established in Pembroke, Ontario – 1908

Cassidy's Transfer & Storage Ltd. was established in 1908 in the town of Pembroke, Ontario as a drayage company transporting baggage from the train station to homes and businesses in the area. Being near a military base in Petawawa,

Ontario allowed Cassidy's to expand its services into moving household furniture outside of the local area. In 1969, Cassidy's Transfer & Storage was purchased by Gordon Robinson and has been operated by him and the Robinson family ever since. Under Gordon Robinson, Cassidy's has enjoyed steady growth and is now one of the largest transportation companies in the Ottawa Valley with offices in Pembroke and Ottawa. In addition to local and long distance household moving, Cassidy’s operated a substantial freight fleet and is a recognized leader in specialized transportation that includes high value, high security and time sensitive shipping. With its own fleet and through a network of trusted associated companies, Cassidy’s now offers worldwide shipping. Truly, at Cassidy’s, We Move The World

⚖️ 6-2 Weeks Out: Handle the Official Stuff Now

This phase is CRITICAL - there are legal deadlines and admin tasks that take weeks to process. Don't wait.

🚨 ACTION ALERT: 6-Day Legal Deadline You MUST update your driver's license and license plates within 6 DAYS of moving to your new address:
👉 ServiceOntario
👉 CRA

6-4 Weeks - Address Changes & Legal:
📬 Canada Post - Arrange mail forwarding
🗳️ Elections Canada - Update voter registration
🏢 Elevators - Book freight elevator if moving to/from apartment
🚗 Vehicle service - Get your car checked before the move

3-2 Weeks - Utilities & Financials:
🔌 Utility companies - Gas, electricity, water, internet at new place
💳 Banks & credit cards - Notify of new address
💊 Medical - Fill all prescriptions and back up important files

Why these deadlines matter:
❌ Miss the 6-day license update = fines
❌ Forget utilities = no power/internet on move-in day
❌ Skip mail forwarding = miss important documents

Don't let admin tasks derail your move!

🚛 10-6 Weeks Out: Booking & Logistics Time

Your move is getting real. This phase is all about locking in the details and gathering what you need.

10-9 Weeks - Booking & Logistics:
✅ Book Cassidy's - Contact your representative for necessary paperwork
✅ Book time off work - Request moving day off NOW
✅ Transfer school records - Contact new school to register kids
✅ Get packing supplies - Tape, sturdy boxes, packing paper

8-6 Weeks - Decluttering & Specialty Items:
✅ The "ruthless" declutter - Garage sale time for unwanted items!
✅ Hazardous disposal - Safely get rid of old paint, batteries, cleaners
✅ Fragile prep - Get bubble wrap and dish barrels for fine art, antiques, pianos

💡 Pro Tip: Don't Use Flimsy Boxes. Those free grocery store boxes might seem like a money-saver, but they put your belongings at risk. Invest in proper packing supplies - your stuff is worth it.

✨ Colin's W900 Absolutely GLOWING!

Fresh out of the wash bay and looking like a mirror.

Colin's Kenworth W900 is shining so bright, you might need sunglasses if you see this beauty headed your way.

With our Pembroke office looking sharp in the background, this is what pride in your equipment looks like.

This is the Cassidy's standard: professional drivers taking care of their rigs like they're their own. Because when your truck looks this good, it's more than just a job... it's a point of pride!

Great work, Colin! Keep that W900 gleaming 🚛✨

📅 Moving in 11+ Weeks? Start With The Foundation!

The secret to a stress-free move? Starting early with solid organization.

If your move is 11+ weeks away, this is your golden window to set yourself up for success. Here's what to tackle NOW:

Your Foundation Checklist:
📁 Create your "Moving Binder" - One central folder for all receipts, records, and agreements
🗓️ Confirm dates - When do previous residents leave? When do you get keys?
🏠 Plan pre-move renovations - Furnace/AC replacements or painting are easier BEFORE you move in
💰 Get moving quotes - Research your options and budget accordingly
📞 Book Cassidy's - Contact us for paperwork and lock in your date.

✨ Pro Tip: Room-by-Room Inventory Walk through each room NOW and note furniture, electronics, and specialty items. Decide what's moving with you vs. what's getting donated. That waffle iron? Croquet set?

Make the call now!

Why start this early? ✅ Better rates when you book early ✅ Get your preferred moving date ✅ More time = less overwhelm ✅ Avoid last-minute panic

Meet Roy Allen, who at 100 years old is about to do something NO Canadian his age has ever done before: walk a 5K in an official race during Ottawa Race Weekend on May 23! 🏅

Roy is raising funds for seniors' programs, proving that age is truly just a number.

Cassidy's is proud to support Roy in his incredible quest. 💙

If Roy can tackle a 5K at 100, we can all find a little extra motivation today, right? 💪

Keep on Truck'n, Roy! 🚛✨

🚛 Fresh Take on a Classic Look: Meet Unit 40425

Check out our latest addition - a stunning square-nosed Peterbilt in beautiful maroon paired with our classic 1972 cursive Cassidy's logo.

Long-time driver Dean has the keys to this beauty, and he's already getting compliments up and down the highway! (Keep it shining, Dean! 💪)

Don't worry - we're NOT ditching our beloved blue and yellow colour scheme! But we think this maroon throwback is a pretty nice change of pace. 🎨

Keep an eye out for Unit 40425 next time you're cruising the highway - you can't miss it.
