Movers
Richmond moving and storage firm on Burrows Road with more than sixty years in the business. Handles apartment and house moves, senior relocations, office moves, long-distance and cross-border jobs, plus packing supplies and containerized storage.
Senior relocation is a specific service, and it is worth knowing it exists before you need it. Downsizing a parent out of a family home is emotionally and logistically different from moving a couple in their thirties, and crews who do it regularly handle it better than crews who do not. LaPorte covers that alongside apartment and house moves, office moves, long-distance and cross-border work, plus packing supplies and containerised storage.
Moving in Richmond usually comes down to one of two problems. Either you are getting a household out of a tower in City Centre, which means booking the elevator, dealing with a loading bay and a strata that wants certificates of insurance, or you are moving a house in the residential south with a long driveway and a shed nobody has properly looked inside in a decade. Different jobs, different crews, same phone call.
Get a written estimate based on someone actually looking at your things, in person or on video, rather than a guess over the phone, because the gap between those two is where moving-day arguments start. Ask about cross-border paperwork early if the move is to the States, since that runs on its own timeline and does not compress. Burrows Road sits in East Richmond, the warehouse and logistics belt out past No. 6 Road where the island turns industrial and most of the traffic is trucks. That is exactly where a moving company should be, close to the highway with room for storage, which helps when possession dates do not line up and your things need somewhere to sit for three weeks.

Longer reads from the editor, with the places worth a detour linked inside them.
The Night Market's final season is the loud story. The quieter one: free admission at the Cannery ends Monday, Britannia keeps summer hours through Sunday, and Steveston does sunsets better than anyone.

Nothing on Alexandra Road is a secret. It is just in a strip mall with bad signage and no patio, which is why visitors never find it. Here is how I actually use Richmond's plazas and food courts, which specialists are worth the drive, and when not to bother.

The West Dyke Trail is about five and a half kilometres of flat gravel between Terra Nova Rural Park and Garry Point, and I ride it most mornings. Here is what is actually at the north end, which way to walk so the wind is on your side, and why winter is the better season for it.
