43% of Canadians with Residential Pesticide Prohibitions.

As of November, over 13.7 million Canadians, 43% of the country's population, live in cities or towns that ban or greatly reduce the application of residential pesticides. The largest municipality with the ban is Toronto, at 2.5 million, and the smallest is Sainte-Paule at 229. The aggregate number of pesticide by-laws currently stands at 136, with an additional 14 pesticide
by-laws at the draft stage pending adoption. (Mike Christie, 2007,http://www.flora.org/healthyottawa/BylawList.pdf) SourceDavid Schaller
