It should be relatively easy to have a SIM sent via post to wherever you're staying so it's awaiting for you on arrival, to pop in to any EE shop and have them help you get set up, or to grab one on eBay and have it shipped to you at home before you leave (a quick search suggests you can have this done for C$2.99).
