Canada Hostelling International Canada Full time

Hostelling International Canada (HIC) is a national member based not for profit organization offering Hostelling services to members and guests across Canada. ( We are part of a global network of hostels under the Hostelling International banner where each country has its own independent national organization to advance hostelling in its territory. We currently operate 23 hostels directly and have 14 affiliate hostels as part of our network. Our mission is to build a community of conscious travellers who share a greater understanding of people, places and cultures through our network of hostels and people.

HIC operates under the Policy Governance model where the volunteer Board sets the high level strategic direction for the organization through the “Ends” and then monitors progress towards the achievement of these Ends. Directors are elected by the membership for 3-year terms and volunteer their time on the Board.


~ Work collaboratively with other Directors to create policies including Ends Policies, Executive Limitation Policies, Board self-management policies and CEO relationship policies within a Policy Governance framework.


~ Participate on Board committees, which include the Governance, Audit, Nominating, Ownership Linkage and CEO Relationship committees.


~ There are 3 in-person weekend Board meetings each year plus one weekend on-line meeting.


~ Travel expenses to Board meetings are reimbursed and Directors are able to book association owned hostels on a complimentary basis during their term of office.


However, we are particularly interested in individuals with demonstrated senior leadership and board experience in the private or public sector, as well as expertise in one or more of the following areas:

~ Experience in tourism management, marketing, or policy development would be advantageous.


~ Youth Development: Candidates with a passion for empowering and supporting youth are encouraged to apply. Knowledge of youth development programs, education policies, and community engagement strategies will be highly valued.


~ Sustainability: We are seeking individuals who are dedicated to advancing sustainability initiatives within our organization and the broader community. Additionally, the ability to speak both English and French would be an asset to effectively communicate with stakeholders and represent our organization in diverse settings, given Canada’s Official Languages.

As a member of our Board of Directors, you will play a pivotal role in guiding the strategic direction of our organization, ensuring accountability, and promoting good governance practices.
