This award is presented to a CAM mover member who demonstrates outstanding performance – in community service, employee relations, innovative operations – and service excellence with customers.

In 2025, the achievements of two MOVER OF THE YEAR finalists were so impressive, based on the scale of their individual operations, that the Awards Committee and Board honoured both.

Commendation:

King’s Transfer is being recognized as the Mover of the Year in celebration of their dedication to excellence, community service, and over a century of leadership in Canada’s moving industry.

Founded in 1922 by William “Willy” O’Donnell in Montreal, this family-owned business has evolved from horse-drawn carriages to a nation-spanning, multi-branch operation renowned for both residential and commercial moves.

The company’s commitment to high standards, personalized service, and continuous innovation has shaped generations of satisfaction for customers across the country, earning them numerous accolades within the industry.

Beyond their operational achievements, King’s Transfer stands out for a vibrant culture of community involvement.  They have organized and supported charitable initiatives like the Gerald O’Donnell Foundation Golf Tournament, which has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for local causes, and they remain deeply engaged in supporting charities, youth events, and health organizations.

As a founding member of Atlas Van Lines Canada and active participant in national industry associations, King’s Transfer has set enduring standards of professional ethics, generosity, and mentorship.  Their legacy, now carried forward by multiple generations of the O’Donnell family, embodies the true spirit of the Mover of the Year Award and continues to raise the bar for the entire industry.

And CAM's Awards Committee couldn’t agree more!
