That is 1.6 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.

Formal volunteering is measured only for the province: 36.9% of British Columbia’s people in 2023, give or take (35.2% to 38.7%), with the provinces between 25.2% and 40.3%.
