If this question were asked in the US, there would be dozens or hundreds of recommendations. Would be nice to get some idea - out of the thousands of gunsmiths in Canada, which have shown a specialty and proficiency with the 1911 platform.

Rob!

Dlask has been doing work on 1911s since the 80s. They even have their own proprietary parts and build whole guns.
Give them a shout.

Give Clarence a call at Bumble Bee Custom Machine, 250-649-6993.

Depending on what you want done? give Casey a call at TacOrd, he installed the ambi safety on my Vickers/ Nighthawk, and I know that both him and Peter did some 1911 course, it was a recognized course with an excellent reputation IIRC ? I thinking the type of course was a "complete" build from just the frame up etc? Worth a call at least. Cheers

If Dlask and TacOrd were in the States, they'd be backed up for a hundred years and they'd be charging several times what they do now for their stuff.

^^ this, I was just there on Tues, and he has tables of stuff to do, and Peter is working there as well. He's busier now that he's retired, than when he was working, LOL.

Roger Kotanko. Excellent 1911 gunsmith. Not sure how active he is now but he does good work.
