B+Civic lifeGraded on library visits, charities and volunteeringWhat Millet’s civic life grade weighs
Millet gets a B+ for civic life. Millet has every input a civic life grade uses: library visits per resident, charities per 1,000 residents and the province’s volunteering rate.
Informal groups and mutual aid go uncounted.
Sources: provincial statistics, the CRA, Statistics Canada.
Millet mailing addresses hold 7 registered charities
It works out to 3.6 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.
37.1%
Across Alberta, 37.1% of people volunteered through an organization in 2023, a provincial estimate with a likely range of 35.1% to 39.2%; the lowest province sits at 25.2% and the highest at 40.3%.
