1,993 registered charities give a Calgary mailing address
There is no count for Tuxedo Park on its own: the charities are those of all of Calgary. It works out to 1.2 per 1,000 residents, where the typical Alberta town has 1.3 and Canada’s 1.4. The CRA files each charity under its mailing address, so a service town collects its region’s charities and a suburb or rural municipality few.
