A Guide to Your Military Posting in Nova Scotia

A military posting to Nova Scotia entails a blend of excitement and logistical planning. Whether your destination is 12 Wing Shearwater, CFB Halifax, 14 Wing Greenwood, or Camp Aldershot, being well-prepared is essential. This guide, complemented by the expertise of Alisha Caillie-Fleet from EXP Realty of Canada, aims to streamline your military posting to this beautiful province.

Register for Your BGRS Account After You Receive Your Military Posting to Nova Scotia

The initial step after receiving your military posting to Nova Scotia is to set up your BGRS (Brookfield Global Relocation Services) account. This platform is vital for organizing and overseeing all aspects of your relocation. It acts as a comprehensive resource for managing your military move, offering support and tools throughout the process.

Utilizing the Knowledge Center

Within the BGRS dashboard, you’ll find a “Knowledge Center” that offers a plethora of “how-to” video tutorials. These resources are invaluable for military personnel posted to Nova Scotia, covering topics such as claim submissions, arranging your House Hunting Trip (HHT), Destination Inspection Trip (DIT), or Spousal Employment Trip, and managing applications for Household Goods & Effects (HG&E). These tutorials often include mandatory forms for completion and submission.

Guides and Checklists

Also available on your BGRS dashboard are PDF-readable guides, including the “Finance Guide” and explanations on the difference between Change of Strength (COS) and Report for Duty (RFD) dates. The platform also offers a mobile app guide. Detailed checklists help you manage tasks from 4 weeks before your move to the final day of possession at your destination, ensuring every aspect of your military posting to Nova Scotia is covered.

Selecting Your Real Estate Agent and Other Professionals

A critical feature of the BGRS dashboard is the selection of professionals who will assist in your relocation. This is where you can choose Alisha Caillie-Fleet as your Realtor®.
