Framing supplies in Canada

I want to step up the quality of my framed prints and start selling at art shows. Every recommendation for suppliers out there is for American companies. Where are all my fellow Canadians getting their supplies for framing? Also, any recommendations on good books about framing would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Stephane, I have no idea if this will help, but these guys were a client of ours (non-photo-related, so I can't speak to the quality of their business) in the past year:

I've ordered mats from matshop.ca in the past year. The company was very professional, good communication, fast shipping, good prices, particularly on their packages. They offer mats of many sizes, frames, bags, tape, etc. I particularly like their bulk presentation packs which include mats, tape and poly bags at very reasonable prices (though only white and black mats in these bulk packages). I will definitely be ordering from them again. I haven't tried their frames though, just mats.

Stephane,

I get most of my supplies from Opus framing here in Vancouver.

Thanks everyone. I've ordered from matshop before but I find they don't have enough frames for me. I have an appointment on tuesday with a local framer, I'll see what kind of arrangement I can make with her. If it's no good I'll probably call vanpro, thanks for the link.
