PEople will always tell you palms wont grow here. The only way to know, is to try yourself. Chamerops might have some natural populations around there. if you have dry winters, the mazari palm should do wel there.
Post some pics of your yard... it sounds right nice

Thanks the Canadianplant! Unfortunately I've never been in NWOntario. I had a chance visiting only a few places above Toronto - Algonquin Park and Muskoka. I will defenetely post pictures from my garden in the nearest future, as soon as winter comes. My garden looks quite different than any Canadian backyard. There is no the turf, no the desk, no the BBQ in the garden. Just trees AND shrubs... Any way I'm gonna share with pictures and ideas what kind of the "growing at the edge plants" would or won't possibly grow there...
