E use with caution F too unreliable to be published 1. Estimates of average and median annual volunteer hours are calculated for volunteers only. 2. Respondents who did not provide this information are excluded from calculations. For this reason. the sum of annual donations by category does not add to the national total. 3.

Both pre-school and school aged children indicates the presence in the household of at least one child from each age range (i.e., at least one child aged 0 to 5 and at least one child aged 6 to 17).
