Apologies for the thread hijack, but I didn't think this should be its own thread...
On the topic of generous Calgarians, I thought CP might be interested in this story. A Calgarian won $40 million, the highest amount a single person has ever won in the city.
He has chosen to donate all of it to cancer support organizations.

Quote:
A Calgary man who won a $40-million lottery prize last May has kept it a secret until now, but says the money will go to charity in memory of his wife.
[...]
Crist said that as soon as he got the call he knew where the money was going to go.
"I lost my wife to cancer two years ago."
His wife of 33 years, Jan, died in February 2012. She was 57.
