According to the divisional history, the British 7th Armoured Division passed southeast of Lille (Carvin and Seclin) on the 4th of September while driving towards Ghent. Presumably the 1st Canadian Army forces followed up during the process of clearing the Channel ports. I will try to find out the story of the liberation of Lille and follow on to Tourcoing from there, but September 2nd seems an unlikely date. Was it September 12th?
