Hi Six. The only one I can tell you about is Micheals, since it is where I buy my stuff. They are a franchise so shouldnt be too hard to find, in my corner of Canada anyway.

Store Locator here:

They are somewhat limited as they sell such a wide varety of craft stuff. But they do have about 3 aisles of candles AND equipment.

I dont know where your co-worker is coming to in Canada but I found this interesting store on the web http://www.villagecraftandcandle.com/Default.asp?c=81929

in St Mary's Ontario which is about a 4 hr drive from where I am.

Good Luck and have fun:-)

Wicks and Wax is the distributor for IGI wax in Western Canada. Its a good place to go if you are visiting Vancouver. pm me if you need good directions for getting to the warehouse. You can buy retail or wholesale there.

I second Dee's advice. Mary is the person I deal with there, she is great. If you need help choosing a wax email Mary, or John (owner).
