Moving In - What To Bring

Please see: room styles for details on what is provided and room sizes

High quality power bars, NOT regular extension cords. Plugging several items into one regular extension cord is UNSAFE and will trip the breaker in your unit.

Induction-friendly pots and pans if you intend to use the full kitchen. (The easiest way to know if cookware will work on an induction cooktop is to put a magnet on the bottom, turn it upright, and give it a little shake. If the magnet slides off easily, that pot/pan can't be used with an induction cooktop.)

We recommend you also bring a bath mat.
Some small appliances that will automatically shut off if you forget (ie. coffee pots, kettles, rice cookers, or slow cookers with an automatic shut off) are permitted, provided they are CSA approved and in good working order. No toaster ovens, indoor grills, portable cook plates, or other cooking appliances are permitted.
