Can anyone recommend a midwife in Toronto and tell me where I can have a waterbirth?

I have lived in Toronto for a couple of years and am planning on getting pg soon (first time). I have searched and searched for information on waterbirth and am finding it so hard to come up with anything! I even asked my gp about the process of "being pregnant" in Canada and he only told me about the OB/GYN option. I only found out that midwives are even an option on our health system because of a colleague of mine's wife used one. But I don't feel comfortable asking him about it as I don't know him well at all. Also, I met a pg lady the other day who lives outside of Toronto - she wanted to used a midwife but they were all booked up because she only found out she was pg at 9 weeks. She said you basically need to have all of your information before you get pg if you want a midwife - but she only knows of midwives in her town. I can find so much information for UK but none for Canada, it is so frustrating. Please help me if you can someone!
