You could get cheap maps from any used bookstore. look in there atlas section, or travel, each book will have multiple pages of maps. - steph.
CAA members can get roadmaps for free! If you dont have a membership ask around to your friends, I'm sure someone does!
i know for sure i've seen maps at value village. i think they were located close to the books. you might also try requesting them from specific provinces/territories by checking the government websites online.

i came here to suggest the caa thing, but maps also seem like a very easy thing to request and received via freecycle.
that way you will also be using post-consumer goods.
here's a list of all the groups in canada:

and a general rundown on what freecycle is and how it works:
