You could probably make a case that there isn't much of a unified Canadian culture, but rather a large number of Canadian cultures. The indigenous peoples of Canada clearly have their own cultures; so do the Quebecois and the Acadians. After that you start getting more into "imported cultures"; there are large British and American influences across the country but also large minority groups which -- especially in the prairies -- have have made contributions to local cultures. It has been said that where the USA is a melting pot which turns immigrants into Americans, Canada is a mosaic in which every piece retains its original nature; immigrants are encouraged to retain their cultural practices rather than discarding them in the name of conforming to "Canadian" culture.
