Flying with Canada with a child: ID?

We're going to be flying from Ontario to BC with our slightly-less-than-2-year old. What do we need for ID for him?
We've been in a panic all week because we can't find his birth certificate. However, on Air Canada's website, it says:
"For travellers younger than 18, no passport is required. However, it is recommended that children carry an original birth certificate or non-government issued ID, e.g. a student card."
WestJet seems to ask for proof of age, which can be a photocopy, but I think this is just so you don't have to pay for the extra seat. What, exactly, do we need to get him on the plane to see Grandma and Grandpa?
We are flying Air Canada. Direct flight. We will not be crossing the border at any point during our travels.
