Vaughan Public Libraries serves the whole of Vaughan, so the library figures on this page are the city’s: 344,930 people, Edgeley among them. Loans ran to 3.8 items per person served in 2024. Like every Ontario library, it reports one typical week of visits, and the year is that week times 52: an estimate.

Vaughan mailing addresses hold 463 registered charities
There is no count for Edgeley on its own: the charities are those of all of Vaughan. It works out to 1.3 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%
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%.
