Jonathan ,
It is nice to have another contributor from Ontario.
I can’t identify your drill press but I think I may have seen pictures of an similar one in some of the old magazines on archive.org
I have an Idea that the drill may be made in Britain or Europe and I think there may be a picture of one something like that posted in one of Asquith’s threads but I can’t find it at the moment.
Maybe someone else will remember .
There are a few things you can do to narrow down your search .
If the bolts and screws have British Standard Whitworth threads on them then your machine likely was made in the U.K.
If the threads are metric and the parts of the machine are made to metric sizes then it would indicate a European made machine .
There are also some other members here with McGregor Gourlay Lathes and perhaps a Ford Smith Mill .
Incase you haven’t seen them these threads have several links to some of the old magazines that you may find interesting

I know Ford Smith did advertise in Canadian Machinery and I have seen ads with pictures of their mills in them.
Here is a search I saved that lists several magazines where you might find something if you are interested and have the time to look .

P.S.
There is a drill that somewhat resembles yours in post # 4 of this thread by Asquith that maybe the one I was thinking of
