The Federal Hostel at Payne Bay was located in Payne Bay in the region known as Arctic Quebec. The hostel operated from 1960 - 1962 with no religious affiliation.
The hostel was also known by the following name - Payne Bay Hostels (1964).
The Government of Canada was responsible for funding the hostel and was managed and operated solely by the federal government. The two hostels opened on October 3, 1960, and they were used primarily by children whose parents were away on the trap lines. Most of the residents were discharged by February 12, 1962, as the hostels had closed. The hostels did not re-open after the 1961/62 school year.
The hostel did not provide classroom instruction.
Seventeen students were residents at the hostel during 1960/61, and ten students were residents during 1961/62, and all students attended the Payne Bay Federal Day School in Payne Bay.
