TORONTO - A Toronto senior has offered up what's thought to be the largest private Canadian donation to date to help survivors of Burma's cyclone.
Joseph Lariviere donated $110,000 to the Burmese Buddhist Association of Ontario earlier this week for its relief program for Burma.
The abbot of the Toronto temple where Lariviere offered his donation says at first he didn't believe it.
He says the association is touched by the generosity of seniors but is checking to make sure they'll have enough money left to live on.
The association has raised about $300,000 to date to help survivors of the May 2 storm in Burma.
Canadians have donated about $8 million to cyclone relief for Burma.
