For many, Canada Day means...moving day
While many people are celebrating Canada Day, a lot of people will be doing some heavy lifting today.
It's moving day for tens of thousands of Montrealers.
Hydro-Quebec reported 100,000 changes of address last year and the figure will probably be about the same this year.
The vacancy rate in Quebec is 2.7-percent, about the same as last year.
There are a lot of bachelor studios available in the Montreal area, but the vacancy rate for two bedrooms is low, 1.8-percent.
If you are moving and need information on getting rid of large objects or appliances, you can get information at ville.montreal.qc.ca./collections, or you can call the information line at 311.
And by the way, the city's housing hotline is 514-868-4002. That's for families who'll be without a place to call home by the end of the day.
