Some polygynous genera present in Ontario include-

Temnothorax.

http://antwiki.org/wiki/Camponotus has interactive maps, quality pictures, and tons of info. Camponotus spp. and Prenolepis imparis are likely flyers right now. Someone here might be able to help if you have good pictures and measurements.

Welcome to the forum!
Looks like Camponotus sp.. AntWiki says you have 61 native species there, so good luck http://antwiki.org/wiki/Camponotus
