This may help. I found this site: http://www.web.ca/clgro/consent.htm
The age of consent in Canada is 14 years of age with one notable exception:
"It is illegal to have sex with a person under 18 if you are in a position of trust of authority, or responsible in a relationship of dependence, with them. This applies to teachers, lifeguards, coaches, guardians, social workers, childcare workers, babysitters, etc., whether or not they are under 18 themselves. It doesn't matter whether they are male or female."
Unless these special circumstances apply, consensual sex between a 14 and 17 year old would be legal.
