I'm not from the GTA so I can't help with anything specific but I'll give some general advice.
There should be professional detailing shops near you but expect to pay out the nose even for a basic wash. The most basic wash at my local detailer is $60 which includes a basic hand wash and interior vacuum and cleaning and packages go up from there. Taking your car to a professional detailer at least once or twice a year is a good idea to get a proper cleaning and wax if you can't do that yourself.
Besides that, I recommend finding a coin-op car wash near you for regular cleanings. Don't bother with the brushes, they are filthy, just use the pressure washer. I don't know what the going rates are in the GTA but in Kingston, it's 2 dollars for 2 minutes. I can do a basic wash and rinse for $4. I put in my coins, do a quick high pressure wash over the entire car then switch to high pressure rinse and go over the entire car so it's mostly clean and finally, hit the car with a quick spotless rinse in the last 40 seconds to avoid water spots. When done, drive around for at least 10 minutes to let the car dry off. I purposely go to a farther coin-op so I just drive home and the car is dry by the time I get back.
If the car is especially dirty or you are new at the coin-op, take more change with you. You might need more time and there is nothing worse than getting halfway through a cleaning and then not being able to finish because you ran out of money. Ask me how I know >_>
