What is Check In Canada? 

Check In Canada allows consumers to search for accommodation by rate and availability, then book directly with the hotel. 

Endorsed by the Hotel Association of Canada, Check In Canada is a consortium of provincial accommodation associations, from British Columbia to Ontario, who are working together to connect guests directly to the hotels and lodging that serve them, reducing the high cost of intermediaries. Check In Canada is owned by these member based organizations, not a private, for profit entity. Its purpose is to enhance the guest experience and drive economic prosperity for Canada’s tourism & hospitality industry.
