Dear Miss Marci,
This is a Fishfly in the genus
Chauliodes, and because the antennae in your individual appear to be serrate, we are concluding that this is a female Spring Fishfly, which is pictured on BugGuide.  Despite being called a Spring Fishfly, there are Ontario sightings as late as September according to BugGuide data.
