What relevant trade training or certification does the guy doing the work have? If he is a mechanic, then $25-30 an hour is a reasonable rate. If he is an ex-weapons tech, then $12-18 an hour (sorry Gilles) as that trade is not particularly in demand on civvy street. Most retired weapons techs that I know ended up driving cab or becoming commisionaires. Even the locksmith trade (a weapons tech sideline) is hard to maintain work in.
If he is Joe from down the street with no certification, then manual labour rates of $12-15an hour would be more appropriate.
If he was providing the workshop, you can double most of those rates or more. Even Cdn tire charges $105 per hour these days, although the mechanic himself will more likely be making $23.
As long as the amounts are reasonably believable, what your non-profit pays him is your business. He will then write another cheque for the same amount as a cash donation to your organisation. That one will be the CRA's business. Then he will wait until tax time at which time he will recoup his cash, or maybe even a couple dollars more.
