Places to belong

24 registered charities give a Vankleek Hill mailing address

It works out to 2.6 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%

No town-level count exists, so the page uses Ontario as a whole: 32.1% volunteered formally in 2023, between 31.0% and 33.2%, while the provinces span 25.2% to 40.3%.
