Places to belong

Saskatoon mailing addresses hold 621 registered charities

There is no count for Avalon on its own: the charities are those of all of Saskatoon. It works out to 2 per 1,000 residents, where the typical Saskatchewan town has 2 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.

Volunteering

36.6%

36.6% of people in Saskatchewan did formal volunteering in 2023, a province-wide estimate between 33.9% and 39.5%; across the ten provinces the rate runs from 25.2% to 40.3%.
