Here's a good place to start:  http://www.lac-bac.gc.ca/05/0518/051806/0518062011_e.html
 
There's a book, the exact title escapes me, but it's something like Canadian Military Cross it has the Canada Gazette entries for ever MC awardee untill the decoration was no longer awarded to Canadians. My Gt Grandfather's award is in there, but I didn't buy a copy of the book.

If I can find more detailed reference I'll post it. I found the book in Toronto in the mid-90s, so it may still be in print.

Here's one to hunt for:

The Military Cross. Awarded to Members of The Canadian Expeditionary Force 1915-1921. With Full Citations. Compiled by: David K.
Riddle, Donald G. Mitchell.

If it was in WW II, there is a CD ROM available from www.servicepub.com that has every MC award documentation listed.
