Are there any varieties of hops that are exclusively Canadian?

I'm aiming to do a transatlantic brew in honour of my english mate who lives in Canada but is returning in October for a get together.

I was going to use EKG, Fuggles (UK) with Centennial and Columbus (US) but then that made me wonder if it would be better to try and find a hop indigenous to Canada but not having much joy identifying any (though it seems Cascade grows across the border from what I can gather).
 
not sure about pure Canadian hops but a lot of the traditional English ones are half Manitoban, possible form wild stock not a cultivated strain, you can always look up the wye college hops and see what into they have on google
 
on an aside I found that my recent purchase contained hops from Poland!! I was somewhat gobsmacked .
 
ok "indigenous" may be a little ambitious......I'll settle for "prevalent"
 
he might be pining for traditional English ales stuffed full of fuggles so don't forget that either !!
