Places to belong

One registered charity gives a Baker Lake mailing address

It works out to 0.4 per 1,000 residents, where the typical Nunavut town has 0.9 and Canada’s 1.4. Charities are placed by mailing address, which flatters service towns whose post office serves a region and undercounts suburbs and rural municipalities.
