'Mine in Ontario'.
Anywhere near Sudbury?
If youre going to be in outdoors situations, or camping or hiking, you should be able to have a long gun for protection from wild animals. A takedown model 12 Winchester breaks down into a 20" long package.
If the OP has a Canadian Firearms licence then he could bring a shotgun like that, without a licence, no. As he's not attending a shoot he doesn't qualify for a temp one either.
The knives listed are fine. Similar to what I carry. Spring assisted is legal too, but again tighten them up so when you go through customs they aren't easy to open.

I'll be outside, if underground counts.
Thanks guys. I'm really dreading not having a pistol with me for a whole week.
I'm going to go with my CP, mini-Grip, and get one of those CRKT Minimalist knives. I'll also have my FourSevens Quark Tactical QTA.
It's going to be a rough week.

All in good fun. Actually I think of myself and this scene when having to go without.
Very cool.
I've spent time in Bayfield with family (their boat is docked there). Nice area of ON.

Memorandum D19-13-2
http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/dm-md/d19/d19-13-2-eng.html
Personal importations by non-residents
86. Unlike Canadian residents, non-residents importing non-restricted firearms will always need to have a valid purpose for importing. Valid purposes can include:
- (a) hunting during their respective seasons;
- (b) use in competitions;
- (c) repair;
- (d) re-enactments;
- (e) in transit movement (i.e., moving in the most direct route possible from point A to point B, through Canada); or
- (f) protection against wildlife in remote areas.
87. A border services officer must be satisfied that the circumstances warrant the firearm being imported. Please note that non-residents who are proceeding to a Canadian national park should be advised that many national parks do not allow firearms. In addition, non-residents under 18 years of age are not permitted to transfer their firearm to an adult to ensure its importation.
Licensed non-residents
88. Non-residents may import non-restricted firearms into Canada or may move them in transit through Canada if they:
- (a) have a valid purpose for importing the firearms;
- (b) have a valid Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL) or Possession Only Licence (POL) authorizing possession of that class of firearm.
Non-resident without a Canadian firearms licence
89. If the non-resident does not have a licence, he or she must:
- (a) have a valid purpose for importing the firearm(s);
- (b) complete a Non-Resident Firearm Declaration (CAFC909) and, if applicable, a Non-Resident Firearm Declaration Continuation Sheet (CAFC910);
- (c) pay the confirmation fee; and
- (d) have the NRFD confirmed by the border services officer.
90. Once confirmed, the NRFD acts as a temporary licence for the non-resident for the firearm(s) listed.
Note: The confirmation fee is valid for 60 days from the date of payment and covers all firearms on the declaration. On any subsequent importation within the 60 day period of the same non-restricted firearm(s), the border services officer will match the firearm(s) to the original NRFD, but no additional fee is payable.

If my knives are in a suitcase, do I need to get them out and show the customs officer?
I've never been through customs.
