I wonder if it's because of the increase in community gardens in the city and the ban of harmful pesticides.

I think it is wonderful that people care and are so much more aware of environmental issues in general. Good for Hamilton and the many other cities and municipalities that are following suit. Its a very good thing and it is because of pressure from the citizens for the local powers that be to use more sustainable and healthy practices. Now the whole country is on board but it started with grassroots groups who lobbied for change. Still lots to do but it is encouraging to see the beginnings of a major shift in thinking I believe.
