*CAM/ALL-MAYORS MEET
Atlantic region mayors met over the weekend in Campbellton.

The Tribune reports .. the growing issue of Air B and B’s was front and
centre at this year’s Mayors Congress.

Mayor Philip Brown of Charlottetown said his city is facing challenges due to
the proliferation of un-regulated rental services like Airbnb.

He says enforcement and administration of a regulatory bylaw would be
challenging.

Mayor Stephanie Anglehart of Campbellton said … since the city will soon be
bringing in a bylaw for a hotel levy, it could be made to apply to Airbnb
rentals as well.

deal with infrastructure repairs.
