Places to belong

1,638 registered charities give a Edmonton mailing address

There is no count for Casselman on its own: the charities are those of all of Edmonton. That is 1.3 per 1,000 residents, against 1.3 in the typical Alberta town and 1.4 across Canada. Counting by mailing address favors a service town, where the surrounding area’s charities get their mail, over the suburbs and countryside around it.

Volunteering

37.1%

No town-level count exists, so the page uses Alberta as a whole: 37.1% volunteered formally in 2023, between 35.1% and 39.2%, while the provinces span 25.2% to 40.3%.
