Welcome TO THE HI-C-PMR BELIEVE IN HOSTELLING INITIATIVE!
Hostelling International - Canada - Pacific Mountain Region is implementing an ongoing and important process of engaging the organization's "owners", essentially members that care about hostelling and the association beyond just staying with us. This is an ongoing initiative so please watch for notices of engagement sessions taking place in Alberta and British Columbia.
Thank you to all participants!
Roundtable Meetings
Our Board would like to invite you to the second phase of our engagement strategy. We are scheduling round table discussions with members in Victoria, Vancouver, Kelowna, Calgary and Edmonton to discuss the results from the survey as well as other key issues impacting the future of hostelling within the Pacific Mountain region.
Discussion topics:
- A review of our Board statement where we aim to provide "a welcoming environment for all ages, and emphasis on young people".
- What is an ecologically sustainable hostel network?
- Board to member communication - how can we improve?
- Volunteer involvement with the HI-PM Region.
