I'm not from Calgary but I'm fairly certain Lee Valley Tools carries rare earth magnets. If there is not a retail location in Calgary, they have a web site and do much of their businiess via mail order. Membership required, but it doesn't cost anything to be a member, kind of like Mountain Equipment Co.

Princess Auto usually carries these as stock items...in many different sizes. Try there.

ya but that was 5 bucks once about 30 years ago.
For magnets, I got mine at Lee Valley, they carry lots of sizes plus the caps they sit in so you can attachment them to wood etc.

I got mine at Lee Valley. They have a good selection of sizes, the store is in the south by Costco.

Why not just go to the hardware store and get some of the nice magnets designed for cabinet doors? :)
I should probably keep my comments to myself about MEC... I refuse to shop there after learning how much they donate to those organizations who's sole purpose is to eliminate my camping & backcountry recreation...
