There is no count for Greektown on its own: the charities are those of all of Vancouver. Per 1,000 residents that makes 2.4; the median is 1.2 for British Columbia 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.

Volunteering here is a provincial number: 36.9% of people across British Columbia in 2023, likely 35.2% to 38.7%, set in a ten-province range of 25.2% to 40.3%.
