Edmonton mailing addresses hold 1,638 registered charities
There is no count for Pleasantview on its own: the charities are those of all of Edmonton. It works out to 1.3 per 1,000 residents, where the typical Alberta town has 1.3 and Canada’s 1.4. Charities are placed by mailing address, which flatters service towns whose post office serves a region and undercounts suburbs and rural municipalities.
37.1%
Between 35.1% and 39.2% of people in Alberta volunteered formally in 2023, 37.1% at the estimate’s middle; that is one figure for the province, which ranges from 25.2% to 40.3% nationally.
