Do wild rabbits in Canada change their fur colour to white in the winter?

Some do. In fall they start turning whiter and in spring they change back to brown. This is a camouflage technique for many species, most notably the Arctic Hare, as the two colors are least noticable in each time period - white blends with snow, brown blends with wood and dirt.
A few species do not, as not all areas of Canada have consistent snow in the winters.

Snowshoe Hare's do turn white in Winter, though. Not sure if any other types do, but as far as I know these are the only ones.

The winter coat is darker and the summer coat is lighter, because light colour reflect the heat so the rabbit won't get too hot.
