No. The first modern (i.e. battery-powered electric) hand-held light was patented in 1899 by David Misell, an Englishman working in the US.

It is not clear who invented the first non-electric hand-held light, but as they predate the existence of Canada by at least several thousand years it's safe to say it wasn't a Canadian.
