Places to belong

Toronto mailing addresses hold 5,846 registered charities

There is no count for Milliken on its own: the charities are those of all of Toronto. It works out to 1.8 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.

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.
