This is a question I have asked myself before. After a lot of info gathering, the best answer I have is this: there are around 100 members of the ndrangheta that are initiated in Toronto, with hundreds of associates, maybe over 1000 overall. (Italian +non Italian) Not all initiated members are involved in serious crimes. Some members were initiated when they were younger solely because they were related to other members, ect, and now they may go to the various cafes, play cards, gossip, offer advice, but not be heavily involved. They may have family members that are involved though, and act in an advisory and connection role. Hope this helps.
