Places to belong

Mississauga mailing addresses hold 867 registered charities

There is no count for Streetsville on its own: the charities are those of all of Mississauga. That is 1.1 per 1,000 residents, against 1.4 in the typical Ontario town and 1.4 across Canada. The CRA files each charity under its mailing address, so a service town collects its region’s charities and a suburb or rural municipality few.

Volunteering

32.1%

One figure covers all of Ontario: in 2023, 32.1% of its people gave time to an organization (between 31.0% and 33.2%), against a provincial range of 25.2% to 40.3%.
