Québec mailing addresses hold 883 registered charities
There is no count for Saint-Louis 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. Charities are placed by mailing address, which flatters service towns whose post office serves a region and undercounts suburbs and rural municipalities.
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%.
