Go to http://www.disneyparks.ca, select your language; then go into the section for Give a Day, Get a Day. I don't know if it's complete yet, but Disney is saying the website will be updated with the Canadian volunteering options.
Easier option might be to just go to http://www.volunteer.ca on January 1st, 2010 - since there is where the Canadian sign up will be held. Here are the basic details as of now:
Give a Day, Get a Disney Day - Information for Canadian Volunteers
Important information for Canadian volunteers:
Q: Why do I have to wait until January 1, 2010 to start volunteering?
A: January 1, 2010 is the official start date of the Give a Day. Get a Disney Day. program. On that date, participating organizations will be prepared to provide eligible opportunities for volunteer sign up.
Q: If I volunteer prior to January 1, 2010, does that count?
A: No. Sign up for the program begins January 1, 2010. You must sign up from this site and complete your volunteer activity through Volunteer Canada in order to participate in the program and obtain your free 1-day park ticket.
Q: How many hours do I have to volunteer to get my free ticket? (A full day? / half-day?)
A: While there is no specific minimum number of hours, you must complete one of the eligible volunteer opportunities or projects available through the Give a Day. Get a Disney Day. program.
Q: How can I find out if the organization I currently volunteer for is included in the program?
A: Visit Volunteer Canada at www.volunteer.ca after January 1, 2010.
Q: I am member of a nonprofit organization. How does my organization become affiliated with Volunteer Canada and participate in the Give a Day. Get a Disney Day. program?
A: Any Canadian nonprofit or volunteer centre can participate by entering their volunteer opportunity information on the national database. The database will be ready for nonprofit organizations and volunteer centres in December 2009.

Press Release for Canada from November 7th 2009...
Give a Day of Volunteering in 2010, Get a Day of Disney Theme Park Fun - Free
Disney Parks Hopes to Inspire 1 Million Volunteers Beginning Jan. 1
TORONTO, Sept. 29 /CNW/ - Disney Parks today announced a new program that celebrates the spirit of volunteerism with a simple proposition: "Give a Day, Get a Disney Day."
Disney hopes to inspire families to volunteer in their communities during 2010 through this first-of-its-kind program. One million people who volunteer with a participating organization will receive a free one-day admission ticket to a Walt Disney World Resort or Disneyland Resort theme park.
While the "Give a Day, Get a Disney Day" program kicks off Jan. 1, right now guests can learn more about the program and how to get their free one-day admission to a Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, or a Disneyland Resort in California theme park by visiting www.DisneyParks.ca (for Canada) or www.DisneyParks.com (for the United States and Puerto Rico).
In the past year, guests have been celebrating all sorts of special moments in their lives at Disney parks - from birthdays and anniversaries to reunions and graduations - as part of the "What Will You Celebrate?" campaign.
"In 2010, we want to recognize and add one more reason for celebration: the contributions people make to their communities every day," said Jay Rasulo, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. "We want to inspire 1 million volunteers - people who will invest time and energy to make their own communities and neighbourhoods a better place."
The campaign officially launched today, with events across North America to celebrate the program. Disney Parks is working with HandsOn Network, the volunteer arm of Points of Light Institute. Volunteer Canada, an international partner of HandsOn Network, will bring the campaign to Canada.
By working through its network of volunteer centres and 161,000 nonprofit agencies, Volunteer Canada is delivering the infrastructure needed to enable people to sign up for an eligible volunteer project through www.DisneyParks.ca.
"Volunteers play a crucial role in keeping the Canadian social fabric together," said Ruth MacKenzie, president of Volunteer Canada. "We are so pleased to be working with HandsOn Network to inspire individuals and families to volunteer and to celebrate the work they do for the betterment of their communities."
Bob Iger, president and CEO of The Walt Disney Company, said, " 'Give a Day, Get a Disney Day' fits perfectly with our long history of supporting and participating in volunteer efforts. It's a great way to honour guests who are making a positive contribution to their communities."
Starting Jan. 1, 2010, guests can go to www.DisneyParks.ca (for Canada) or www.DisneyParks.com (for the United States and Puerto Rico) to search for volunteer opportunities available in their area. Many of the opportunities will be for projects that entire families can participate in together.
To raise awareness for grass-roots community volunteerism and the 'Give a Day, Get a Disney Day' program, Disney VoluntEARS joined local volunteers in cities across the United States and Canada today. Work projects involving 1,000 volunteers were coordinated by HandsOn Network in Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles and Miami, and by Volunteer Canada in Toronto, Montreal, Halifax and Vancouver.
