HMCS Kingston (700) and Glace Bay (701) are currently supposed to be in Lake Ontario "flying the flag." http://blogs.ottawacitizen.com/2013/06/12/hmcs-glace-bay-and-hmcs-kingston-on-seven-week-tour-training-exercises-and-coastal-operations/

Both were to be in Oshawa Ontario from July 5-8, then Port Colborne July 12-14, and Kingston July 12-15. Either they will be racing back and forth between the last two destinations, or one ship to each location.  From another report HMCS Glace Bay (701) will be in Port Colborne. http://www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/2013/07/08/hmcs-glace-bay-will-be-open-for-tours

Perhaps the time between (ie July 9-11) is to be spent conducting exercises in Lake Ontario.

Whole bunch of Canadian warships in the Strait of Juan de Fuca (west coast) as well.... Nothing un-usual.
