425 registered charities give a Laval mailing address

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.
25.2%
No town-level count exists, so the page uses Quebec as a whole: 25.2% volunteered formally in 2023, between 24.0% and 26.4%, while the provinces span 25.2% to 40.3%.
