It works out to 6.1 per 1,000 residents, where the typical Nova Scotia town has 1.1 and Canada’s 1.4. Counting by mailing address favors a service town, where the surrounding area’s charities get their mail, over the suburbs and countryside around it.

Volunteering

37.0%

No town-level count exists, so the page uses Nova Scotia as a whole: 37.0% volunteered formally in 2023, between 34.3% and 39.8%, while the provinces span 25.2% to 40.3%.
