Movers in Cockburn Island, Ontario

Cockburn Island is a seasonal cottage island in the Manitoulin District with almost no year-round residents. There is no ferry or bridge, so a moving truck cannot reach it. Zero Hour Moving can help with the mainland side of a move and talk through what a cottage-contents job would involve.

Cockburn Island moves: cottages reached by boat

Cockburn Island has about 90 cottages that families own and use as vacation properties, and the summer population is a few hundred. Only one permanent year-round resident lives there, a township maintenance employee, so the island is really a cottage community. That means moves here are cottage handovers, sales and furnishing jobs, rather than ordinary house moves, and most of the work is contents of cottages.

The island is not connected by bridge or ferry. The only ways to reach it are by private boat in summer, snowmobile in winter, or by float plane or helicopter. The township runs a marina at Tolsmaville, and there is also a short airstrip nearby. A moving truck cannot drive to a cottage here, so any job involves moving items to and from the water, and it depends on your own boat or a boat arrangement. Tell us what you need to move and we will talk through the options.
