No luck on ethanol-free 87 octane to my knowledge.
Shell 91 has no ethanol anywhere in Canada. They say it right on their website.

Q. What is Ethanol?
A. Ethanol is ethyl alcohol or grain alcohol, mainly produced in the Midwestern United States from corn stock and in more limited quantities in Canada from wheat. It can be used as a biofuel alternative to gasoline. British Columbia and Canada require that gasolines contain an average of 5 % renewable fuel content. To meet BC's Renewable Fuel Standard, Chevron gasolines may contain up to 10% ethanol. Chevron Supreme Plus, 94 octane is ETHANOL FREE and available at all Chevron locations in British Columbia.
Husky 91 is ethanol-free. You can get 87 that is ethanol-free in Calgary.

A selection of octane levels to suit your needs

Octane 87. Regular with ethanol (available in all provinces)
Octane 87. Regular with no ethanol (Calgary area)
Octane 89. Mid-grade (regular blended with premium, available in all provinces excluding SK, may contain ethanol in some areas)
Octane 91. Premium - no ethanol (available in all provinces excluding SK)
Octane 92. Premium with ethanol (SK & MB)
Octane 94. Premium Plus with ethanol, the highest octane fuel available (AB, SK & MB)
Canadian Tire implies that their 91 is ethanol-free, but doesn't explicitly state it.
