For more than a decade, the 81-year-retired engineer had canvassed neighbours on his Dartmouth, N.S., street for donations for Diabetes Canada. However, a spokesperson for Diabetes Canada subsequently told CBC News the only case the organization is aware of is Mallet's. In the end, Diabetes Canada said it conducted an internal investigation and there was no evidence of theft. Diabetes Canada is one of the largest charities in Canada, according to Charity Intelligence. However, last year, for the first time in 13 years, Diabetes Canada did not invite him to canvass for them.
