I can access my booking on the lufthansa website - can I check in online there or do I have to go through Air Canada?? And if I can, will I be able to check-in for both flights?

Any help would be REALLY appreciated as this is my first time flying outside europe on my own and my first time with a connection OR a codeshare flight!

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to FT!
You check-in with the operating carrier (in this case AC) when it's a codeshare flight.
You should check-in at the airport ... you will get both BPs at LHR.
AC will put your bags through to DEN.
You will go through US immgration at YYZ (Toronto).
