I watch here - http://www.x-rates.com/d/CAD/GBP/graph120.html though it won't be what you can actually buy or sell at, that all depends who you are dealing with.

I just did an exchange today all in at 1.70 for each gbp. At the start of the day it was at 1.67(ish) and we waited until it hit 1.70 before closing the deal as it looked as if it may drop again when the us markets opened. I haven't checked since this morning though but that should give you some idea of what you will actually exchange for rather than the listed price.
