does anybody know what the nominal dimensions of a 2x14" wood joist would be from 1961 vintage in Canada?

RE: old dimensional lumber
1954 AISC Steel Construction Manual (Fifth Edition) page 345 lists the 2x14 dimension as 1 5/8" x 13 1/2" as well.

I checked the Douglas Fir Use Book Copyright 1958 which also gave the size of a 2 x 14 as 1 5/8" x 13 1/2".

If you compare the dimension lumber grade rules published by WWPA, WCLB, SPIB and NLGA, you will see that they are identical.
