Was he born in Ontario?

As mentioned by O_Lorelie, birth registrations after 1914 are not available to the public yet. Go to this website for a guide.

You must go to the Office of the Registrar General for more recent births.

You could try going through local newspapers and look for his birth announcement. Most libraries can help you with this, even with email requests.
