Canadian Soil Testing

Does anyone know if there is somewhere in Canada that does a similar soil test/similar price as the cooperative extensions in the US? I've heard (maybe incorrectly?) that soil tests in the US are around $15 or so. In Canada, I've heard the same kind of test (at private labs) runs around $65 or more, and one lab in AB advertises $300 for a full biological and chemical test (not sure if that's even needed, but I really want to know the amount of OM in my soil).

I'm just not sure what I should be looking for, who I should be asking, etc. Agriculture Canada seems to be more geared to farming and agriculture, and not a little ol' homeowner wondering about their lawn soil conditions.

Any ideas? Thanks.
