It looks like Whistler, Canada may get a new HI hostel after the 2010 Winter Olympic Games:
A 2007 PDF report from hihostels.ca says:
Whistler also presents a new venture for our Region. We are currently working with the Municipality of Whistler and the Olympic Committee to develop a future hostel in the 2010 Athletes’ Village.
More from Whistler.ca:
Development permits were authorized for three more accommodation buildings in the athlete village: a four-storey hostel, which is slated to become the new Hostelling International facility post-Games...
The new hostel building will contain 54 short-term units accommodating two to four people per unit, along with common rooms and space that could be used as an Internet café or bistro. The Whistler 2020 Development Corporation is overseeing the construction of the hostel, and it is anticipated that Hostelling International will assume ownership post-Games, but details on the deal are not yet released.
