Being from Nova Scotia, I expect that what you ate were Donairs. They 
are very popular around there, and unfortunately they are not so
popular anywhere else that I've been. They also go by the name Gyros
some places. The chunks of meat are generally some sort of spiced
ground beef, and the thin bread is usually a pita, or we used to call
it Lebanese bread (I don't know how accurate any of these names are,
but that's what we called them). The sauce is not always mild. The
best ones that I've ever had definitely did not fit the descirpition
mild.
