Hi everyone ,new and sort of curious to building a plywood canoe and with a farily good thing for working with wood,I would like to know what should be my first canoe?I would like to build something for 2 people and also would it be hard to find all the materials in Port Colborne,Ontario,Canada for my project?Thanks,mikep.

Welcome to the forum.

For supplies in Ontario, Noah's Marine http://www.noahsmarine.com should take care of you well.

As for the canoe, what's the weight range you intend to have on board? Paddling experience? Prefer speed or stability?

the estimated weight would be around 450lbs,I have some experience at canoeing,and I would say stabilty would rule over speed,also it would'nt be used in any real fast water or rapids

I'd say one of these would work nicely:
