All good things must eventually end.
In the late fall of 2009 two Irish Tradesmen, Domo and Marto arrived at the hostel. They had come over to find work in the mines and oil fields of Northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories.
But we found we could use the skills of two qualified plumbers right here at the Canadiana. We put the two lads to work!
They have been with us for more than four months and they are both personable and popular additions to hostel life.
But the lads have decided it is time to move along to see some more of this vast country.
The hostel is going to miss them and organized a visit to the pub for chicken wings and beer (compliments of the Canadiana!)
They flew out last week headed for Calgary and Vancouver. But they have promised to return next summer.
Meanwhile, have a great time lads!

Its been a great time living at the Canadiana “hostel” the last four months.. Its “downtown Toronto” and great location
…
But apart from the great location it the great staff and friendly atmosphere in this place that makes it so special..
Thanks to everyone who have made this place home for us and we will miss it there but we will be back again.. before its time to leave Canada at the end of this year… just keep an eye on of stuff in the lock up downstairs
