You can over complicate things.
Just think of the basics and your budget:
Food+Shelter
>Stove(can make a cheap Alcohol stove or wood stove from cans)
>A pot and mess kits
>Filter/Drops
>Tent
>Tarp(s)
>Sleeping Bags
>fire starting(matches, fire kit, fire steel, etc carry several ways to start fire)
Food for 2 people for 2 days isn't that much.
then
Transportation
>Extra Paddles
>'Canoe Kit'(required by Ontario law)Rope, whistle, flashlight, something to bail water with, life jacket per passenger, 1 extra paddle.
>Rope
Then:
Knife
Compass
Map
Way to cut wood(hatchet or folding saw)
