2010 Backpackers Hostels Canada booklet party


2010 Backpackers Hostels Canada Booklet Party

Every year an incredibly chaotic and intense but equally friendly and fun event occurs in Thunder Bay--namely the hostel booklet packing party. This year again, on Tuesday May 18th, we were fortunate to have volunteers of different ages and nationalities come to the booklet-packing headquarters to help pack the envelopes and boxes sent to each of the hostels across Canada.

We appreciate each and every person who participated as each person worked diligently in their duties. In the end we supplied 169 hostels with 2010 BHC Hostel Booklets (as shown in the above-right of this page), which you can now find at any of our member locations across Canada.

Thanks to Fada, Emily, Neil, Julius, Willa, Lloyd, Ralph, Brad, Eugene, Marina, Brendon, Daniel, Tina, Martin (and I was there too, Ken) for making the event so productive and for such great company.

2009 Backpacker Hostels Canada maps!




Backpacker Hostels Canada maps!


We've finally got our 2009 maps out thanks to a number of sponsors. The maps are a nice way of locating hostels and their contact information on a nice and shiny yet light-weight paper.

The maps will be found at every hostel in the BHC network while supplies last, especially the map of Canada, listing all BHC hostels in Canada, as the other (regional) maps will be printed in fewer quantity. The 2009 BHC maps include the Map of Canada, and maps of Western Canada, Central Canada, and Eastern Canada (shown below).

Incidentally, the 2009 hostel booklet is also out of publishing. Besides listing all of the hostels in Canada, and their contact information, the booklet contains discount coupons offering two dollars off of one night's stay at over 90 participating hostels. The hostels participating are denoted in the booklet by a little polar bear beside the booklet listing. There is also a space provided beside each listing so that you can get your booklet rubber-stamped at each hostel you stay at.
