Places to belong

No registered charity gives a Yarmouth 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

37.0%

Between 34.3% and 39.8% of people in Nova Scotia volunteered formally in 2023, 37.0% at the estimate’s middle; that is one figure for the province, which ranges from 25.2% to 40.3% nationally.
