At arrival one of our team members will greet you and provide you with a map to proceed to our waiting area. At the waiting area, a member of our team will conduct our health and wellness check which includes a required temperature check and quick COVID-19 questionnaire. Our team member will also provide you with 2 access wristbands, one for you and one for your guest. Once our team member gives you the go-ahead you will be directed to our unloading area.

7.KEY COLLECTION + UNLOADING

Once at the unloading area, our move-in team will proceed to unload your vehicle while you proceed to collect your keys at the check-in tables. If you are moving in from outside of Canada, you are kindly asked to use the international check-in table. Once you have received your keys, our team will bring your personal items to your unit.

Parents and/or drivers are asked to remain in the vehicle during this process as the unloading zone is a temporary unloading zone only.

Vehicles are required to be removed after the unloading has been completed. *Parkside is in a city centre location, so please assure that you are following all municipal signs and traffic by-laws.

THE Basics of MOVE-IN A. ARRIVE DURING YOUR SCHEDULED MOVE-IN TIME

We have scheduled arrival times slots in an effort to control the number of people attempting to move into the building at any given time and to maximize physical distancing. This will only work if residents arrive during their appointed time and not earlier or later. Please help us ensure move-in run smoothly by arriving on your assigned date and time!

B. BRING ONE PERSON TO HELP YOU.

The guest must be accompanied by you at check-in and must receive a sign-in wristband.

C. WE WANT THE MOVE-IN PROCESS TO BE AS EFFICIENT AS POSSIBLE.

Talk to your roommates before you move-in about common items you can share.

For example, you don’t want to end up with 2 bath mats! See page 7 for some suggestions on what to bring.

D. DO NOT BRING A MOVING TRUCK OR TRAILER ATTACHED TO YOUR VEHICLE.

Due to the limited space for unloading and parking vehicles, we cannot accommodate large moving trucks or trailers in the unloading area. Remember your room is fully furnished.

E. EASE YOUR MOVE BY BRINGING A HAND CART/DOLLY.

There will be some hand carts available for use. Due to the number of residents moving in, we recommend bringing your own handcart as we cannot guarantee that one will be available. During our move-in days, we will have move-in assistance for unloading.

F. GATHER THE NECESSITIES.

If you are not in a studio unit, remember that you are sharing a space with other residents. Bring only what you will need for your own bedroom. You can make decisions regarding common room items with your roommates. See page 7 for some suggestions on what to bring.
