Places to belong

Gander mailing addresses hold 20 registered charities

That is 1.6 per 1,000 residents, against 1.4 in the typical Newfoundland and Labrador town and 1.4 across Canada. 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

34.8%

Volunteering here is a provincial number: 34.8% of people across Newfoundland and Labrador in 2023, likely 31.7% to 38.0%, set in a ten-province range of 25.2% to 40.3%.
