Places to belong

One registered charity gives a Saint-Ours mailing address

Per 1,000 residents that makes 0.6; the median is 1.4 for Quebec towns and 1.4 for Canada’s. Counting by mailing address favors a service town, where the surrounding area’s charities get their mail, over the suburbs and countryside around it.

Volunteering

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.
