Places to belong

London mailing addresses hold 633 registered charities

There is no count for Masonville on its own: the charities are those of all of London. Per 1,000 residents that makes 1.3; the median is 1.4 for Ontario towns and 1.4 for Canada’s. 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%

Between 31.0% and 33.2% of people in Ontario volunteered formally in 2023, 32.1% at the estimate’s middle; that is one figure for the province, which ranges from 25.2% to 40.3% nationally.
