Toronto Hostel Knows What Time It Is

By Joshua Errett

For those looking to escape oppressive relatives or overbearing little sisters over the festive season, try a night or a week at the Canadiana Backpackers Inn on Widmer Ave. The converted Victorian townhouses were just voted the best hostel in North America, so says a poll at Hostelworld.com. In addition to its close proximity to Queen St. West, Canadiana Backpackers Inn would also be a perfect place for hip suburban types wanting to avoid the trip back to the 905-area homes, as it is located just steps from Lucid nightclub.
