Since I'm quite familiar with the Brockville area I'll give you a hand tpits1.
And it won't be THAT cold! The St Lawrence River is usually about 70F in the summer time. However, if you wanted to do some dives in the Kingston area (1hr west of Brkvlle), now that will be COLD water!!
Here's a clicky link for the above mentioned website.Brockville wrecks. I've been on a number of the wrecks listed here a few that aren't listed. All are well preserved due to being in fresh water.
Since some of the wrecks are actually in U.S. waters, any Canadians interested in going, you'll want to have dive insurance such as DAN.

FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION!! It comes bundled with the software.

Conditions are great right now... Water temp in the 50s air temp is in the 70-80F range.
Of the wrecks listed on the site, some should be considered advanced. Some are "American" wrecks, and the charters don't always go to them -- they have special schedules as the charter must clear US Customs first before heading to US waters.
When are you planning to head this way?
