Those look like lyres, so they're upside down. Could be from a marching band.

I did an online search for 'Canada marching band hat badge'... unfortunately I found nothing. 
Although, hat badges for the police services in Canada do look similar.

Just tidying up some blasts from the past (including some very ancient ones), largely for the benefit of anyone searching the site for information.
The one you found on the net is British army. This one, like yours, with maple leaves rather than oak leaves, is Canadian. Some versions (I think cap badges rather than sleeve badges) have a crown at the top which helps date them but, without that, dating is difficult.
