Occasional Linux work is better than no work at all. Moreover, as you become a trusted member of the team, you may have opportunities to introduce Linux to the infrastructure,
where appropriate.

Well, that's the right attitude. It's helpful that you live near a large metro area. If you aren't able to find volunteer opportunities, you might even consider posting that your volunteer services are available to non-profits, or whatever you feel comfortable with. (Use craigslist or whatever popular forum it is canadians use...
).
And in your free time, continue to practice frequently. When you get your big chance you'll want to be able to do the work well.
Good luck.
