Places to belong

One registered charity gives a Montpellier mailing address

It works out to 0.8 per 1,000 residents, where the typical Quebec 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

25.2%

The 2023 survey gives Quebec one volunteering rate for all its towns, 25.2% (between 24.0% and 26.4%), while provinces run from 25.2% at the low end to 40.3%.
