Because you are not being dismissed for cause you are entitled to receive "reasonable" notice or pay in lieu of notice.
Generally, in determining what is reasonable notice Courts look at several factors including the length of time you worked for the employer, your age, your position, the likelihood of finding new employment etc.
At the high end, if you were in a managerial position, the Court would likely order one month's notice or pay in lieu of notice for each year of employment. So, if you are in a management position the Court might order 6 weeks or so. If you were not in a managerial position the Court would order somewhat less.
The Labour Board can only get you what is set out in the legislation as the minimal notice period. The Act states the you are entitled to 2 weeks which is what they gave you.
It would make sense to speak to an employment lawyer as that lawyer may be able to negotiate a bit more for you.
I hope that helps as a starting point.
