There is no count for Lougheed on its own: the charities are those of all of Burnaby. That is 1.2 per 1,000 residents, against 1.2 in the typical British Columbia town and 1.4 across Canada. Charities are placed by mailing address, which flatters service towns whose post office serves a region and undercounts suburbs and rural municipalities.
36.9%
No town-level count exists, so the page uses British Columbia as a whole: 36.9% volunteered formally in 2023, between 35.2% and 38.7%, while the provinces span 25.2% to 40.3%.
