The Giving (R)evolution: "Canadians are a giving bunch, that much we know. The most recent Canadian Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating (CSGVP) stated that in 2007 Canadians volunteered 2.1 billion hours, a 4.2% increase from the previous survey, though the average number of per person volunteer hours remained static at 166 that year. A total of $10 billion was donated. That's an increase of 12% since 2004.
Still, the majority of donations come from a smaller portion of Canadians. It's estimated that 21% of people represent 82% of the total value of donations and 12% of Canadians make up 78% of all volunteer hours."
