883 registered charities give a Québec mailing address
There is no count for Saint-Émile on its own: the charities are those of all of Québec. It works out to 1.5 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.
25.2%
Between 24.0% and 26.4% of people in Quebec volunteered formally in 2023, 25.2% at the estimate’s middle; that is one figure for the province, which ranges from 25.2% to 40.3% nationally.
