Places to belong

621 registered charities are based in Saskatoon, by mailing address

Per 1,000 residents that makes 2; the median is 2 for Saskatchewan towns and 1.4 for Canada’s. Charities are placed by mailing address, which flatters service towns whose post office serves a region and undercounts suburbs and rural municipalities.

Volunteering

36.6%

No town-level count exists, so the page uses Saskatchewan as a whole: 36.6% volunteered formally in 2023, between 33.9% and 39.5%, while the provinces span 25.2% to 40.3%.
