Yup, it's just a garter.

How is Sudbury by the way? I'm sorta southeast of Toronto and it's nu-Sweden, and I'm looking to move.

It's a garter snake.

Poison is ingested(eaten), venom is injected. There're only a couple snakes that are poisonous which occurs in their flesh, but because most snake toxin only works when transferred into the blood stream, it is injected into the body.

The garter snake has been considered to be venomous, only because their bites cause just a small amount of swelling. But, it's so mild, it's pretty much considered non-venomous.

Was going to write a whole story about venomous and poisonous haha.
You saved me the trouble.

There are more than 2 venomous species.
Don't know about your area, but I'm talking about worldwide :)

Just don't touch or pick up if you don't know for sure if it's harmless or not.

Basically Grass snakes become poisonous from eating toads while garter snakes become poisonous from eating a specific newt. Since they didn't evolve to rely on these prey items they don't naturally neutralize the toxins but rather tolerate then to the point of immunity. Which explains why other snakes like hognoses that feed primarily on toads aren't poisonous.
