Yes, area code 888 is toll-free in Canada. The toll-free codes in North America (USA, Canada, etc.) are 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, and 844, with 833 and 822 reserved for future toll-free use. However, note that some North American toll-free numbers will only work from some regions (countries, states, provinces, or arbitrary parts of them). Each individual toll-free number can be configured for the regions from which it will or will not accept calls.

Calls to any of those area codes are toll-free from Canada, provided that the owner of the specific toll-free number you are calling, has chosen to accept calls from your area. Also note that calls to toll-free numbers from mobile phones will still incur airtime charges.
