I don't know of any places in Canada but down here is Wheels America which offers this service. Here is a link to their site.

Even if they don't they may be able to point you in the right direction.

pretty much any wheel repair shop should be able to do this. the only issue is that doing this makes your wheels none repairable.

unless you've got a your heart set on one particular model of rims your can find some new wide ones for cheaper.

Do a Google search for WeldCraft. They Focus on doing that type of work. I am Seriously considering getting 2 wheels done. The only issue is they are located just over the US Border.... But they seem to do Excellent work. I have tried to contact several Places around here, and none are willing to attempt such a task as wideing rims.
