自我介绍

I opened The Fitz Hostel in 2016 because I believe we’re all a little better off when we slow down, take a walk in the woods or share stories around a campfire or kitchen table. I’ve called the Saugeen Bruce Peninsula home for most of my life, and my family has called it home since 1883. It’s an extra special, but fragile place - so when you visit, I hope you’ll join me in taking good care so we can share the same beauty with generations to come. Obviously, COVID has changed everything, including hostels. So, in 2021, we will continue to book private rooms or the whole house, encourage longer stays, and expected gamut of mask wearing, distancing, hand washing, cleaning & sanitizing. Why Fitz? Captain William Fitzwiliam Owen was the maker of several early maps and charts of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. While we probably don’t need another thing named after long-gone white colonialists, it had a nice ring to it. When you come to The Fitz, you can see one of his maps, which refers to the peninsula as “Little Cabotia”!
