Do we need to be involved in BETA testing on Sonos to hook up the Amazon Echo Plus to control Sonos and is this operational in Ontario Canada ??

No you do not need to be in beta. It is a part of current software release.

However, I don't believe Sonos is enabled for Canada yet... not sure though.

They say early 2018 - but can we still not operate it through the Echo plus ?

If you can't enable the Sonos skill, then you won't be able to control your Sonos through Alexa.

That article just tells how to set up Alexa and Sonos. If the Sonos skill for Alexa isn't available in Canada, you wouldn't be able to set it up and link your Amazon and Sonos accounts.
