Western Canada Retiree Moving
Your next chapter deserves a proper homecoming
Thinking about retiring to the Okanagan, Vancouver Island, or closer to the grandkids? Armstrong's BC and Alberta crews have been settling Canadians into their retirement homes since 1963.
Where will retirement take you?
The best places to retire in BC & Alberta — and how to get there
Wherever you're headed, you'll have local Armstrong crews on both ends of the move — and one Move Manager in between.
Okanagan
Kelowna & Vernon
Lakeside living, mild winters and wine country. Our most requested retirement destination.
Vancouver Island
Victoria & Nanaimo
Canada's gentlest climate. We handle the ferry logistics — you enjoy the crossing.
Interior BC
Penticton & the South Okanagan
Small-town pace with big-lake views, minutes from orchards and golf.
Alberta
Calgary & Foothills
Staying close to family? Our Calgary branch moves you across the city or across the province.
Lower Mainland
Vancouver & Fraser Valley
Downsize from the family home to a condo, with storage that bridges the gap.
Anywhere in Canada
Coast to coast
Long-distance and cross-border moves handled end to end — one plan, one point of contact.

Good questions
What retirees ask us most
Can you help us downsize before the move?
Yes — sorting, packing and donation runs are part of the plan. We work room by room, at your pace, and nothing is donated or discarded without your say-so.
What if our new home isn't ready yet?
Your belongings rest in secure, climate-controlled Armstrong storage — for a week or a season — and deliver when you're ready.
How much does a retirement move cost?
Every quote is tailored to distance, size and services. You'll get a clear written price up front — and a Move Manager who sticks to it.
Do you move to Vancouver Island?
Every week. Ferry scheduling, island delivery and set-up are all handled inside one plan.
Looking further than BC?
Some retirees leave the country altogether. If you are weighing an overseas move, we ship households abroad from Canada — packing, freight and customs included.

Just used them for a move to the US from Markham and they were amazing. Alan crew with Emmanuel and Jeffery were super fast, efficient and couldn't recommend enough.

My partner and I recently moved from Victoria, BC to Nova Scotia and had an amazing experience with John and Ashley. They were both extremely professional, efficient and took great care of our belongings. Nothing was lost/damaged in the process. Would highly recommend.

I moved from Waterloo to Calgary. It was indeed a smooth transition with Armstrong movers. I should thank Eric Bocher, the manger, and all of those who made the process smooth including Jackson Farrell, Anthony Azarkiewicz, and Stephan Morris, for their support!

Went with Armstrong as they came highly recommended from colleagues for my move from Toronto to upstate New York. The whole process was seamless from start to finish. Allan and his team were quick and efficient packing and loading my things on one of the hottest days of the year. The constant communication from move manager Eric was also much appreciated.
