celebrate her 80th birthday. "Consumers need to read the terms and conditions before
moving day and not rely solely on price when deciding on a
July 10, 1pm-3pm at mover," says Don MacKinnon, BBB President and CEO. "Some
St. Luke’s Anglican Church Hall consumer reports tell us about how costs increase halfway
through the job. If the customer refuses to pay, their property is

Last year the BBB received 20 complaints about moving
Best Wishes Only companies making the industry rated number twelve overall in
the number of complaints received. With over 2000 inquiries,
movers were the sixth most inquired about type of business in the
Maritimes.
Start planning ahead several weeks before your targeted moving
date. Here are some quick tips to help you with your move: 1)
Shop around. Get at least three estimates and keep in mind that the
lowest bid may not necessarily be the best service when you
consider insurance, training, experience, quality of vehicle, etc;
2) Get a written contract. Make sure you get a contract that spells
out the specific terms: the dates and times of your move, holding
charges, and over-weight penalties; 3) Ask about insurance. Find
out how much insurance the mover has and what it covers. Ask for
the insurer's name and policy number in case you need extra
insurance to protect your possessions; 4) Make a list and check it.
Make an inventory of the goods to be moved. Personally
supervise or have someone trusted with your inventory list watch
the loading and unloading of the truck; 5) Report loss or damage.
If damage or loss occurs, have the driver make a special note on
the inventory and/or delivery receipt, then promptly notify the
company in writing, keeping a copy for your own files; 6) If you
pack you pay. Remember, if the moving company packs
everything, they are responsible; if you pack things, you are on the
hook for damages. If you pack, place heavy items on the bottom,
lighter ones on top and label boxes; 7) Deal with insured
companies. Ask for a
clearance letter from
the mover stating
that they have
insurance coverage.
If they don't, you

MOORE FROM OTTAWA
By Fundy Royal MP, the Hon. Rob Moore
Exploring around Fundy Royal, it is difficult not to
be awed by the natural beauty that surrounds us.
The Bay of Fundy is world-renowned for its
splendor, and is also in the running for the New 7
Wonders of Nature contest. It is the only Canadian
site in the competition, and it is right in our own backyard. Subaru receives top
2010 starting from
honours in 2010
Remember to vote to add the Bay of Fundy to the new list of world $20,995
wonders at www.votemyfundy.com.
We are all proud of the beauty that our province has to offer, and
this past week, even more great news has come to Fundy Royal. Our
government announced in our 2009 Budget that the Fundy Trail
Parkway would be designated as a priority project. On Friday June
18th, I was present at the official opening of the newest 4.3 kilometer
section of the Fundy Trail Parkway. Also available: 2.5i IMPREZA 5-door version
Our government has been committed to the Fundy Trail since day
one. After we formed government in 2006, we invested $5.5 million 2010 2.5X
through the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency towards the starting from $25,995
completion of Phase II of the Fundy Trail, and on April 8th, 2009, Taxes, freight and
Prime Minister Harper announced an additional $5 million towards preparation extra
its completion. The Fundy Trail is not only a source of pride for New
Brunswick, but also a centre of tourism, as it has welcomed over
500,000 guests since it was opened in 1998.
I hope that all residents of Fundy Royal and visitors to New
Brunswick will take time this summer to see all that Fundy Royal
has to offer. 214 Japanese and a whole lot more!
