Welcome to SRP from a fellow Canadian.

Do you shave with a straight razor? Until you can shave well with one it's useless to try to hone, because you have no idea what you're even trying to achieve.

With the advanced search function on this forum, you can search for members by location. But I also happen to remember that there's a fairly active member here who lives in Winnipeg, Captain Zero or something similar. I remember because there aren't many prairie people on here (I'm originally from Regina). I don't know if he hones professionally, though.

But no matter what, take Glen up on his offer. In fact, I think I'll take a zoom lesson from him soon, too.

I learned to hone from this forum. I would have loved to get in-person lessons, but I could never find any professional honers nearby that honed well enough that I wanted to take lessons from them. 5 years later, I'm finally getting edges that are consistently excellent. I'm certain that if I could have taken one lesson from someone like Glen, it would have taken me a fraction of the time to learn.

Your razor should be able to take a good edge, but you may ruin it trying to learn to hone. I found it very worthwhile to find a bunch of cheap vintage razors in decent condition that I didn't mind ruining for honing practise. Until I could get decent edges on those, I sent out my good razors to pros. Knowing what to look for in an Ebay post is an entirely different set of skills, but much easier to learn than honing.

Good luck! Ask lots of questions, and don't be afraid to make mistakes. They're only razors.
