Places to belong

No registered charity gives a Nelson mailing address

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

34.4%

One figure covers all of New Brunswick: in 2023, 34.4% of its people gave time to an organization (between 31.6% and 37.2%), against a provincial range of 25.2% to 40.3%.
