I would guess being canada.it may be a type of ornamental banana.

I grow a hardy type& being am TX and a zone 8b.I can safely park that baby in ground.I have a tape of gardeners diary when HGTV was running canadian gardens.theyre was a lady in southern canada and she wintered her banana in ground.she took a tomoto cage and filled with mulch and burlap& plastic& it was on south side of house in full sun under eves(I'd guess was a protected space,were other things not for her zone there.even a grapefruit tree)
Yes bananas are grown in the most sun you can give them& are heavy feeders..just hook um up to a steady IV of fertilizer.I do hvae one that gets some shade& it does fine.I'd say its foliage looks better.
They love tons & tons of water.you can dig yours and store it dry in winter..no pot or anything.just wrap the roots in burlap and place in a cool non freezeing space.They don't need water in winter&I seen a Paul James the gardening guy and caught that.I don't rember the guy or WHERE it was up north,but he was digging 15 ft tall banana trees and wraping croms& placeing pups in buckets& placeing in garage.

If you were wanting one that would bloom& produce.you would need to grow one of the hardy types& pot it indoors with as much light as possible for the winters.
bananatree.com has a wide variety of bananas& it has pictures& grow info.you may run into yours there.
