and i am also 17 which obviously makes me a minor so will i need the government to sign the parental authorization letter or from any public notary such as a teacher?And also, do i need a visa? even if i have a canadian passport and id?

To travel to Belgium you will need a passport valid for 3 month after your intended stay. You are waiwed from a visa requirement for tourist travel of up to 90 days in a 180 day period holding a Canadian passport and having Canadian citizenship.
There are no special provisions for traveling of unaccompanied minors however a written statement by your parents will be helpful not to be recognized as runaway by immigration officers.
