Several people have asked for a summary of what I’ve found so here it is in no particular order. Some really cool stuff going on out there!
Crowdsourcing Nature: http://westerncitsci.tumblr.com/
CBMN (community based monitoring network) pilot study in Nunavut (www.nwmn.ca)
Biodiversity Atlas in http://biodiversityatlas.org/
e-flora

snow tweets run by waterloo
Plantwatch
Ontario Nature (formerly the Federation of Ontario Naturalists) organizes citizen scientists to monitor frogs, birds and other species. You might want to talk to someone there.

The entire issue of Environment and Planning A 2013, volume 45 is about VGI, and I would get in touch with your local Open Street Map folks, while their focus is primarily urban, they have a large cadre of volunteers that they have trained
to help them out with their mapping, and they perhaps can share best practices and hook you with some volunteers (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Canada), generally you have
to register to their lists and begin communicating with people that way.There is also the whole world of citizen science to examine, and well, we all know the ornithologists are the best and maybe the Canadian Association can help there too. Very Best, Ryan.
