Places to belong

One registered charity gives a Sainte-Marguerite mailing address

That is 0.8 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.

Volunteering

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.
