Hello fursuit makers!

I live in Campbell River and, up here, it seems that finding fursuit materials is rare. I've been to fabricland here, and there wasn't any upholstery foam for making a fursuit head. I managed to find another place that sells foam, but I found the customer service was very poor, and, the price of the foam was overpriced. 60$ for 1m x 1m of 1 1/2" foam! I can travel probably as for to Nainamo to buy foam, but I am not interested to getting a hold of people who want to individually sell foam, so, my question is -

Where can I get foam in on Vancouver Island, preferably close to CR? Maybe theres some sewing shops in Comox/Courtany or Nainamo that sells some.

If you want to check out my fursuit so far, here it is! Roxley is a lavender husky character of mine. Its pinned so far.

If you highlight the foam shop your brouser will bring up several shops in the Vancouver district. Didn't see any on the island however.
