Per 1,000 residents that makes 6.6; the median is 1.3 for Alberta towns and 1.4 for Canada’s. 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%
In 2023, 37.1% of people in Alberta volunteered formally: one estimate for the whole province, likely between 35.1% and 39.2%, in a range of 25.2% to 40.3% across the ten provinces.
