Norwich mailing addresses hold 19 registered charities
It works out to 1.5 per 1,000 residents, where the typical Ontario town has 1.4 and Canada’s 1.4. 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.
32.1%
Formal volunteering is measured only for the province: 32.1% of Ontario’s people in 2023, give or take (31.0% to 33.2%), with the provinces between 25.2% and 40.3%.
