Places to belong

Ottawa mailing addresses hold 1,975 registered charities

There is no count for Manotick on its own: the charities are those of all of Ottawa. It works out to 1.7 per 1,000 residents, where the typical Ontario town has 1.4 and Canada’s 1.4. 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%

The 2023 survey gives Ontario one volunteering rate for all its towns, 32.1% (between 31.0% and 33.2%), while provinces run from 25.2% at the low end to 40.3%.
