HI Calgary

This is more than just a job, we offer an experience and memories that will last a lifetime! We have a relaxed working environment within a close-knit group, who value diversity, inclusion, teamwork, and positive communication.

The vibe of our urban hostel in the amazing city centre of Calgary is close to restaurants, museums, nightlife, shopping, festivals and riverside bike and walking paths. It’s a short drive to UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, Dinosaur Provincial Park, Waterton National Park or world class skiing in Banff and Lake Louise. Calgary has something for everyone.

About HI

We love travelling. To us, travel isn’t just about going places, it’s also about meeting people, discovering cultures, eating new food and most of all, learning how people do things differently than we do back home.

We believe that through hostelling, we become more conscious about the world around us; and we can even make the world a better place. 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.
