I dont know of any local shops. But i know most of my local shops charge way too much for stuff. I have had great luck with buying online.

I usually use these sites:
www.Adorama.com
www.Calumetphoto.com
www.bhphotovideo.com

they all have a lot of items, at a great price point.

Good luck!

Try the friendly folks at Freestyle, they have everything you need at good prices.

No, I think you're out of luck. I was up there about a year ago and the most prominent camera store there had almost nothing on the shelves let alone darkroom supplies. I think you could arrange for a purchase from Freestyle and send thema money order...Evan Clarke

They don't have much but they do carry Ilford paper (limited fb) and some Ilford chemistry (mg dev., stop, and fix).

If you go mail order, consider DarkroomCentral.ca. They are in Winnipeg. I have not ordered from them, but they look to have a respectable offering to get you the basics.

Freestyle accepts money orders, or a debit card. You canalways use a green-dot prepaid card.

You do have payment options with Freestyle, and I suspect with the other retailers as well. A call to any of their customer service departments should get you some answers.

If you're looking to buy photographic paper on a budget, I can recommend the Arista.EDU Ultra line of papers from Freestyle and the store branded papers from Adorama. Either option is far less expensive than the name brand stuff and the quality is quite good. Papers from both sources are my "go to" papers for most of my work.

Hi Borek. I'm in Thunder Bay. Sorry to hear of your misfortunes. I order from freestyle and have them ship to Ryden's border store. I drive across the border to pick up the package and declare it at the border. Ryden's charges a small handling fee ($3) per package. Works slick and no waiting for customs to play with the package for a few weeks, and no hideous brokerage fees from the courier, and a nice drive to boot. There are no traditional darkroom supplies in Thunder Bay anywhere. Everything including most films must be ordered. The only lab in Thunder Bay who will soup medium format colour is Primary.

Rick.
