Herewith I want to give notice that the Dawson City River Hostel has given up on its Hostelling International (HI) affiliation. After almost 20 years carrying the HI logo, it has become to difficult to be associated with an organization that cares more about its top-heavy bureaucracy than about their affiliated private hostels. Over-bearing, arrogant and insulting inspectors are one reason, but the last straw was an incredible, one-sided contract which, had I signed it, would have given control – to a large extent – to a faceless Ottawa / Vancouver bureaucracy.
