Most cameras have a 'format card' option from the camera's menu. I did a google search but didn't find anything quickly. I'd check the user manual and see if there is a 'format card' menu option that you are maybe overlooking. Hope this helps!

Always use your camera to format your memory card.

Using your computer to format basically turns your card into a 'computer disk,' but you can reformat it using the camera. Most Canon cameras have the format option listed near the top of the 'other' menu, which is usually the last menu in your camera's menu tree.
menu->other->format
