Places to belong

It works out to 9 per 1,000 residents, where the typical Ontario town has 1.4 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.

Volunteering

32.1%

No town-level count exists, so the page uses Ontario as a whole: 32.1% volunteered formally in 2023, between 31.0% and 33.2%, while the provinces span 25.2% to 40.3%.
