Places to belong

570 registered charities are based in Halifax, by mailing address

There is no count for Beaver Bank on its own: the charities are those of all of Halifax. That is 1.1 per 1,000 residents, against 1.1 in the typical Nova Scotia town and 1.4 across Canada. Charities are placed by mailing address, which flatters service towns whose post office serves a region and undercounts suburbs and rural municipalities.

37.0%

In 2023, 37.0% of people in Nova Scotia volunteered formally: one estimate for the whole province, likely between 34.3% and 39.8%, in a range of 25.2% to 40.3% across the ten provinces.
