Places to belong

Kearney mailing addresses hold 2 registered charities

Per 1,000 residents that makes 1.9; the median is 1.4 for Ontario towns and 1.4 for Canada’s. 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

32.1%

The 2023 survey gives Ontario one volunteering rate for all its towns, 32.1% (between 31.0% and 33.2%), while provinces run from 25.2% at the low end to 40.3%.
