Become a Host

We are currently seeking Vancouver hosts to billet attendees of the Forum, arriving in town from across the country.

1. You live in Vancouver?
2. You like meeting new people?
3. You have a spare bed/couch/foamie or mattress on the floor that you could offer to someone travelling to Vancouver to attend the CNMN National Forum 2012, January 19-22, 2012?

YES? That’s great news!

Then YOU are invited to become a host for Habitation 2012!

I’m intrigued! But, what am I getting myself into?

Being a host is as easy as being able to provide your guest with:

1. A place to sleep
2. Access to a shower and clean towels
3. Breakfast (You don’t have to prepare it! Simply have breakfast foods available!)

Hosts are not required to provide transportation to and from the venue (SFU Woodward’s, 149 West Hastings Street). But, we are hoping to find accommodations that are located within reasonable proximity.

This sounds amazing! How do I become a host?

1. Download the host form (excel file).
2. Open as read-only and follow the instructions inside the document.
3. Problems? Email Stacey Brown: CNMN-RCMN_habitation@staceybrown.ca

Seems simple! Are there any perks?

You mean besides getting to know terrific new people and building your cross-country network? Well, YES!

1. CNMN will provide one free registration to the Forum 2012 for all hosts.
2. Hosts will receive $10 per day per guest for billeting.

What happens after I send in my form?

1. The Billeting Coordinator, or designated assistant, will contact all potential hosts by email or by phone in November or early December.
2. You may be asked some additional questions to confirm details about your accommodations and/or circumstances.
3. You will be matched with the most suitable guest (s) according to the information you have provided, and you will be contacted as soon as possible with the name (s) and contact information of your guest (s).

Your privacy is very important to us. The information collected will be safeguarded and will not be shared with any other organizations or publicly disseminated. It will be used solely for the purpose of matching hosts and guests for Habitation 2012.
