The by-law states that Bed & Brëàkfast Available Here "Bed and Breakfast" accommodations, accommodations, so popular in Europe, will be available in the Town of Newcastle for visitors this summer. The general purpose and administration committee has recommended amendment to the comprehensive comprehensive zoning by-law to permit such establishments in rural areas. A Bed and Breakfast is defined by the Ontario Vacation Vacation Farm Association as an "establishment where visitors arrive in the evening, evening, sleep overnight, enjoy a pleasant breakfast and leave in the morning."
