Legacy Moving is a Winnipeg long distance moving company that handles cross-Canada and interprovincial moves out of Manitoba. Whether you're heading west to Calgary, east to Toronto, or anywhere in between, our team gets you there without the headaches.
We were founded by three industry veterans (Christopher Pereira, Sean Hagues, and Nicholas Wight) with a combined 55+ years in the moving business. When you hire us, you're not dealing with a national call centre. You're working directly with the people who own the trucks and run the jobs.
A few things that matter to our customers:
- $8/lb cargo coverage included. Well above the 60¢ per pound industry minimum, and part of every long distance estimate at no extra charge.
- Free on-site quotes. We come to your home, look at what you're moving, and give you a real number, not a ballpark guess over the phone.
- BBB Accredited with an A rating and zero complaints since accreditation in February 2025.
- 5 stars on Google from 205+ Winnipeg customers.
Ready to talk through your long distance move? Call us at (204) 296-2223 or book a free on-site estimate and we'll walk you through your options.
Winnipeg sits right in the middle of the country, which makes it a natural hub for long distance moves in every direction. Our team runs jobs to all the major Canadian cities, and we can quote routes beyond this list on request.
Our most common long distance routes from Winnipeg:
- Winnipeg to Calgary ~ around 1,330 km, our most popular western route
- Winnipeg to Edmonton ~ around 1,360 km
- Winnipeg to Regina ~ around 570 km, a short-haul interprovincial move
- Winnipeg to Saskatoon ~ around 790 km
- Winnipeg to Toronto ~ around 2,100 km
- Winnipeg to Ottawa ~ around 2,200 km
- Winnipeg to Montreal ~ around 2,400 km
- Winnipeg to Vancouver ~ around 2,300 km
We also handle cross-border moves into the United States and international relocations worldwide. If you're moving to a city that's not on this list, call us at (204) 296-2223 for a free quote ~ we almost certainly cover it.
Because our founders have lived and worked in Winnipeg for decades, Prairie highways and Canadian Shield routes are familiar territory. We know where the weigh stations are, where the good overnight stops are, and how winter weather affects each corridor.
Long distance moves involve a lot more than throwing boxes on a truck. We handle the full job from start to finish, and you can pick the services that make sense for your situation.
Packing and unpacking
We offer full-service packing where our crew shows up with all the boxes, paper, tape, and bubble wrap and packs your home room by room. If you'd rather pack some items yourself and leave the fragile stuff to us, partial packing works too. We also unpack on the other end if you want.
Furniture disassembly and reassembly
Beds, dining tables, IKEA wardrobes, treadmills ~ anything that needs to come apart to get through a door gets broken down at pickup and put back together at delivery.
Specialty items
We move pianos, pool tables, hot tubs, gun safes, and aquariums. Many long distance movers outsource these; our team handles them directly.
Climate-controlled storage
If your new place isn't ready when the truck arrives, we can store your belongings in our secure Winnipeg facility until you are. No rushing, no scrambling for a hotel room full of boxes.
Labour-only and moving supplies
If you've rented your own truck and just need an experienced crew to load or unload it, we do that too. We also sell boxes, tape, and packing materials if you're doing some of the work yourself.
Payment is flexible: cash, credit card, cheque, or e-transfer. Call (204) 296-2223 to get a free estimate on any combination of these services.
Local moves can sometimes be booked a week out. Long distance moves from Winnipeg are different. The further you're going, the more there is to plan.
How far ahead to book
About a month's notice is plenty to book a long distance move with us, and we also take last-minute bookings, including same-week moves, subject to availability. Planning the whole relocation (selling, finding your new home, coordinating everything) takes 3 to 6 months, so start that part early.
Before the crew arrives
A few things to sort out before moving day:
- Declutter and decide what's coming with you, what's going into storage, and what's being sold or donated
- Notify Manitoba Hydro, MPI, your bank, and anyone else who sends mail to your address
- Forward your mail through Canada Post
- Label boxes by the room they're going to in your new home, not just what's inside
- Pack an essentials bag with a few days of clothes, toiletries, medication, chargers, and important documents
Winter moves out of Winnipeg
Winnipeg winters are serious, and they do affect long distance moves. Cold weather can gel diesel, drain batteries, and turn icy driveways into liability issues. Electronics need about 12 hours to acclimatize at the other end before you plug them back in. We run long distance jobs all winter and know how to handle the cold. Just plan for clear walkways at both ends and a bit of flexibility if the weather turns.
Trusting a moving company with everything you own across 1,500 kilometres is a big deal. Here's why Winnipeg residents pick our long distance movers for cross-Canada jobs:
- 55+ years of combined experience. Our three co-founders have been doing this since the early 2000s. They've personally run hundreds of long distance jobs.
- We're local, not a franchise. Legacy is a Winnipeg company, not a regional office of a national chain. When you call, you get us, not a dispatcher three provinces away.
- Direct line to the owners. Questions or issues on the road? You call us and we answer. No ticket systems, no call centres.
- Verified reputation. BBB Accredited with an A rating and zero complaints. 160+ Google reviews averaging 4.9 stars.
- $8/lb cargo coverage included, no hidden fees. That is well above the 60¢ per pound industry minimum, and your belongings are covered from the moment we load the truck.
- Insured for the full trip. Your belongings are covered in transit.
If you've been burned by a moving company before, or if this is your first long distance move and you want to do it right, we'd like the chance to earn your business. Call us at (204) 296-2223 or book a free on-site estimate to get started.

Frequently Asked Questions
About a month's notice is plenty to book a long distance move with us. We also take last-minute bookings, including same-week moves, subject to availability. Call us at (204) 296-2223 and we'll do our best to fit you in even on short notice.
Yes, either you or a designated adult representative needs to be there at both ends. We need someone to sign paperwork, confirm the inventory, and direct our crew on where furniture goes. If you can't be there yourself, a family member or friend with authority to make decisions works fine.
Yes, you can pack your own boxes. Just know that items you pack yourself aren't covered under our packing liability if something breaks. We cover what we pack. Most customers do a mix: they handle clothes and books, and we pack the fragile items like dishes, glassware, and electronics.
We can't transport hazardous materials like propane tanks, fuel, paint, aerosols, or fireworks. Live plants and perishable food also don't travel well in long distance shipments and we don't recommend it. Everything else (furniture, appliances, boxes, specialty items) we handle.
We offer climate-controlled storage at our Winnipeg facility, and we can coordinate storage at the destination end too. If there's a gap between your pickup and delivery dates, we'll hold your belongings securely until you're ready to take delivery. Just let us know during booking so we can plan for it.
Every item gets wrapped in moving blankets and secured in the truck so nothing shifts in transit, and fragile items are boxed with packing paper and bubble wrap. Before loading, every piece is also colour- and number-tagged against an inventory and condition report so we can verify everything at delivery. Long distance shipments include $8/lb of cargo coverage in every estimate, with an optional upgrade of up to $10/lb available.
Yes, we handle cross-border moves into the US and international relocations worldwide. These involve extra paperwork, customs documentation, and longer timelines, so lead time matters even more. Call us to discuss your destination and we'll walk you through what's involved.
