One benefit of an "online coach" is it opens up possibilities far beyond local resources. Why limit yourself to Toronto area? (Meeting, interviewing and communicating with coaches via online is very convenient in determining who and what system/style will work for you.)

I would look to the local running clubs that are known to have good results. Black Toe Running, Longboat Road Runners are two that immediately come to mind. Darren @Blacktoe is quite the knowledgable guy so I'd start there personally.

Like others have said there are other ways to find a good running coach. Training Peaks has a matching program that may help you find the right coach for your personality and goals.
