Places to belong

356 registered charities are based in Markham, by mailing address

There is no count for Greensborough on its own: the charities are those of all of Markham. Per 1,000 residents that makes 1; 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%

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.
