Hi Kelli,
I am not aware of any organisation that undertakes training in relation to IYCF-E in Canada. I suspect that this is an issue that is largely ignored, which unfortunately seems to be the case in all resource rich countries. For resources, there is a publication written by myself and Nina Berry on emergency preparedness for caregivers of infants
http://www.internationalbreastfeedingjournal.com/content/6/1/16 and resources for parents and caregivers by Queensland Health (Australia).
https://www.health.qld.gov.au/disaster/html/food-for-infants.asp
I have a paper about to be published on how one health service supported breastfeeding women well after the Christchurch earthquake.
I have given presentations etc to emergency managers, emergency workers and health workers about the needs of infants in relation to feeding in developed country contexts but these have been one-off type of things.

You may also be interested in the report by Save the Children Australia on the situation with regards children of all ages and disaster response. https://www.savethechildren.org.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0019/7921/301013_Dont_Leave_Me_Alone.pdf
In essence they found that plans for children are absent or inadequate. Why children, and especially infants, are not seen as a vulnerable group in need of specific planning is beyond me. We actually have better planning and education in relation to pets than children.
