The appendix will be included in the original diary, it's typical for appendices, maps, airphotos etc. not to be copied in favour of just the 'narrative' as at LMH. You will probably need to visit LAC or find a researcher to copy it.
Here's the LAC record for the War Diary:
http://collectionscanada.gc.ca/pam_arch ... 894,927896
I think the reference RG-24 Vol 17512 would also work to order it on-site
Brian Reid in 'No Holding Back: Op Totalize" mentions two other references:
DHH 145.2Q1011(D8) 'Account by Maj Cavanaugh, A Coy, Camerons of Canada of the attack on Fontenay-le-Marmion night 7/8 Aug 1944' given to Capt Engler 10 Aug 44
and
DHH Hist Sect Report No. 65, 26. 'Account by Maj Cavanaugh' 145.2Q1011(D5), 'Account of the attack by the Camerons of Canada on Fontenay-le-Marmion night 7/8 Aug 1944' given by Lt John Graham to Capt Engler 11 Aug 44
Historical reports from the Dept of History and Heritage are now held at LAC. They are a bit of a bear to locate, though there is a finding aid that helps a bit. A researcher might also be able to dig them out. You might try DHH to see if they have kept copies and might provide them to you, though my dated experience with them is that they weren't keen on remote research.
