Places to belong

Placentia mailing addresses hold 2 registered charities

That is 0.6 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%

Formal volunteering is measured only for the province: 34.8% of Newfoundland and Labrador’s people in 2023, give or take (31.7% to 38.0%), with the provinces between 25.2% and 40.3%.
