The blade shape and grip design seems to be consistent with the early Peterborough / Lakefield canoe building area. This post from 2011 discussed a paddle made by John Summers (former GM at the Canadian Canoe Museum) which was based on a late 19th century template design from Lakefield Canoe Company.
