Administrative history
Hostelling International – Nova Scotia was formally established in 1997 but its roots can be traced back to the Canadian Youth Hostels Association – Maritime Region dating back to 1938 which was spearheaded by Kell Antoft and Betty Callan. In 1962 the Wentworth Hostel was established with the help of Freda Wales. The organization changed its name in 1967 to the Canadian Hostelling Association – Nova Scotia Chapter and the following year established the Trail Shop Co-operative Ltd. In the spring of 1982 the Association opened its Halifax Hostel at 2445 Brunswick Street. The hostel continues to operate at 1253 Barrington Street.
