A non-diver told me that he has seen people shore dive on Lake Wilcox in Richmond Hill, ON...has anybody been there or heard of someone diving there or is this just BS?

Yes some have, but depth is about 25 feet max and vis is close to 6" if you are lucky - really not worth it.

For years I've heard the diving was not allowed there...
If I'm wrong, please let me know.

Ye gawds! 
I lived in RH for about 10 years and trust me, the lake is bad enough to SWIM in... but dive? Eeeewwww!
In addition to the lack of viz, the bottom is about 6" of squishy oozy suck-you-down-quagmire mud.
If you're desperate for a dive fix, go up to Lake Simcoe; it's not that much further North.
