A quick google search indicates that the situation is very muddy. One article said it's okay as long as no money goes to the people organizing the event, another says it's not legal at all but some cities don't enforce the law, etc.
Charity poker tournaments do happen in Ontario, but their legality seems to be in a bit of a grey zone. I do seem to recall some sort of charity poker event taking place at Mac at some point several years back, though. I can't remember the details, unfortunately.
