The following is a list of moving companies in the greater Ottawa area that offer a labour-only option. They will let you hire movers (without a truck) by the hour to assist you in loading or unloading rental trucks and in relocating items withing the same building or nearby.

It is very important to ensure that the laborers/movers are covered by the WSIB. Any company or contractor that you hire should be able to provide you with a clearance certificate from the WSIB. If a company hires it's movers/laborers as independent contractors, those contractors are required to have and provide WSIB Clearance Certificates. If a mover/labourer is not covered by WSIB, then the consumer is put at great financial risk. If an uninsured employee/contractor were to injure themselves while loading or unloading your truck or while performing other moving services for you, then you could be held liable for their injury.
