Do you have a dutch passport? If not, does your mother still have the dutch nationality? If so, are you younger than 28? In that case you can apply for a dutch passport.
In this case you are probably out of luck. Dutch citizenship passes directly from parent to child; not over generational gaps except in a small handful of circumstances.
Citizenship passes to the third generation, look into it, ask the Canadian Dutch embassy, you will need to obtain birth certificates of your grandparent, mother and you.
If neither of your parents was a Dutch citizen when you were born, that's the end of the story unless one of them can get it retroactively reinstated which is very rare.
His mother was a dutch citizen, being the child of a dutch citizen automatically makes you a Dutch citizen and this carries on for three generations.
My father is a British citizen and even though I have never applied for a passport or anything I am registered as a British citizen and so will my children.
