This product contains data for one question from the General Social Survey (GSS) Cycle 24 (2010) related to Giving, Volunteering and Participating: "In the past 12 months, did you do unpaid volunteer work for any organization?" The data are cross-tabulated by sex and age (all ages, under 65, 65+).
These data were acquired as a custom order from Statistics Canada. The data are not typically available at the geographic levels provided here as the GSS is designed to report on Canada, the provinces and the territories. Much of the data are suppressed or should be used with caution (rating = E).
The tables are in .xls format, however the warning shown below appears when opening the files. Click Yes:
