Covid 19 Protocols in effect - Mask Directive

Mandatory mask directive in effect

As of Friday, July 14, 2020 The Medical Officer of Health has advised all businesses with communal public spaces within the Thunder Bay District Health Unit Area to adopt  a mandatory mask policy. We will generously educate you on what areas in the hostel are public and shared and which activities or areas are private. Help us be shining examples of the new cool! Points for masks with flare!

Keep a 2 m distance between guests and staff

We are doing our absolute best to make our guests feel comfortable. We have opened up our main floor lounge to allow for more space; not to mention our amazing courtyard! Please respect all signage and keep a healthy distance between guests not in your party and our lovely staff who are working around the clock to ensure you walk away smiling. We are always here if you have any questions or concerns to help you navigate the new rules in place.
