Girl Guides of Canada learn all about hostelling at our region's hostels
Travelling is a great experience. Be it within your home country or abroad, it helps young people gain an understanding of other cultures and countries, and develops many life skills along the way. Hostelling International’s mission is to help as many people as possible gain these experiences through hostelling. Over ten years ago the Girl Guides of Canada and HI collaborated to develop the Discover Hostelling Girl Guide Crest program, which can be completed at HI hostels in British Columbia and Alberta. Over the years hundreds of Guides have gained the crest and thoroughly enjoyed the program, and it’s opened their eyes to the benefits of hostelling and travelling. Read more »

World Class Cycle Touring in the Canadian Rockies
By Kaitie Worobec
The Icefields Parkway is one of the most stunning mountain roadways on the planet. Stretching 230 km between Jasper and Lake Louise, this dramatically scenic highway passes by massive glaciers and turquoise lakes. It crosses two mountain passes to take you up to elevations in excess of 7,000 feet (2,100 metres) for breathtaking views of the Columbia Icefields. Cycling the Icefields Parkway really enhances the experience by giving you the opportunity to see everything right up close and in "slower motion ". Read more »
