About Us

Originally formed in 1969, the Canadian Association of Movers is Canada’s only trade association representing moving and storage companies. Along with movers and relocation companies both here and internationally, our members also include companies that supply vital programs and services to and within the household goods moving industry.

Our programs and services are designed to enhance the profitability of our members' businesses.

We are a proud and active member of the National Council of Moving Associations – an international association that works together to provide best practices, assistance, and advice that reflects today’s challenges and disruptions in the moving industry.
