There's an addon for Firefox, Seamonkey and Chrome browsers called
"ShowIP".  It displays the IP address of the web site, so you can tell
at a glance if you're connected via IPv6 or IPv4.

BTW, I've been running IPv6 for over 5 years, but I get it via a 6in4
tunnel rather than from Rogers.  Rogers does support IPv6 via 6to4 or
6rd tunnel, but I haven't heard of them offering native IPv6 yet.  On
the other hand, Telus is now moving to IPv6, so perhaps that will give
Rogers, Bell etc. a nudge.
