Places to belong

1,975 registered charities give a Ottawa mailing address

There is no count for Manor Park on its own: the charities are those of all of Ottawa. That is 1.7 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%

Statistics Canada puts formal volunteering in Ontario at 32.1% in 2023, somewhere between 31.0% and 33.2%, for every town in the province alike; provinces range from 25.2% to 40.3%.
