Places to belong

8 registered charities give a Thompson mailing address

It works out to 5.6 per 1,000 residents, where the typical Manitoba town has 2.1 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.

Volunteering

38.3%

Between 35.6% and 41.1% of people in Manitoba volunteered formally in 2023, 38.3% at the estimate’s middle; that is one figure for the province, which ranges from 25.2% to 40.3% nationally.
