Scouts Canada published the results of a recent Canada-wide survey of 1000 Canadians, which provides a pulse check on current world-weary woes, courage to spread kindness, and whether volunteering can quell Canadians’ concerns. 

Key Findings

1. Canadians are slightly (.1%) less overwhelmed than last year

• Asked if they are feeling overwhelmed by the state of the world and if they’d like to make a difference somehow, a combined 74.3% of Canadians said yes! Compared with the same question asked in March 2024, when a combined 74.4% said ‘yes.’

2. Could Volunteering Quell Canadians’ Concerns? 

• 43.2% of Canadians say Canucks who refuse to volunteer are ‘missing out on an opportunity to improve their own mental health.’
• Asked if volunteering with youth should be promoted as a way for adults to combat stress, anxiety, and loneliness, 60.9% of Canadians said ‘yes!’ 27.3% said ‘maybe.’
• With record levels of anxiety and depression, should Canadians be prescribed volunteering as a form of therapy? 37.9% of Canadians said ‘yes,’ and 46.8% said ‘maybe.’
