883 registered charities give a Québec mailing address
There is no count for Vanier on its own: the charities are those of all of Québec. That is 1.5 per 1,000 residents, against 1.4 in the typical Quebec town and 1.4 across Canada. 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%
In 2023, 25.2% of people in Quebec volunteered formally: one estimate for the whole province, likely between 24.0% and 26.4%, in a range of 25.2% to 40.3% across the ten provinces.
