Company Profile

Company Overview

Hostelling International-Canada (HI-Canada or HI-C) is a not-for-profit, member-based organization, and a national member of the International Youth Hostel Federation (IYHF - brand named "Hostelling International"), the largest travel association in the world. HI-Canada has now a network of 60 hostels, from coast to coast; some owned, some affiliated. All HI-Canada hostels are regularly inspected for high standards of cleanliness, safety, environmental sustainability and available facilities.

The practice of hostelling was brought to Canada more than 80 years ago, but HI-Canada's mission is much the same today: to help make travel affordable and practical for everyone, especially young people -- making it possible for anyone to experience different cultures, languages and landscapes, and create enriching and life-long memories and friendships.
