Hi. this is one of the orb weavers. Araneidae family. They are not medically significant.
The dark femurs would suggest Neoscona genus, likely Neoscona crucifera species. Species Neoscona crucifera – BugGuide.Net
She looks like Araneus marmoreus or Araneus trifolium. The wavy lines and blobs markings plus the black/white/ red leg bands. Canada has many of both species. A. marmoreus usually has dark red femurs. What do you think?
With these orb weavers, colors and patterns hardly mean anything.
A good shot of the epigynum and scape would tell.
The key feature I was judging with was the dark femurs.
I would rule out A trifolium, A marmoreus is possible.
