Christine, it would appear as if you need a new front bumper. However there could be damage behind it, for example if the headlight took some impact as well the mounting brackets could be broken. However it looks easily fixable and you should be able to source a new bumper from this site fairly easily. Have you had any quotes from a repairer?

Being located in Canada is the problem Brenton.

There's a canadian section to the site, I'm sure they can help with sourcing parts.

The bonnet also is misaligned or damaged i think, I would say take it to a reputable smash repair and get a quote. If they talk about write off it might just because it is the too hard basket for them, if so take it somewhere else. I would estimate 1-2k worth of damage so it shouldnt really be written off.
