A trick that skimmer and reactor DIY'ers would do when they needed a custom Oring size that wasn't readily available is to take one larger than you need, and cut it down to the size you need. You reconnect the cut ends back together with superglue. I've had to do this on a couple unions. It works surprisingly well.
Rona used to have a pretty good selection of O rings as well.
Western Pump might be another place worthy of checking out. They are down by Princess Auto in the south.
Back in the day there was actually an industrial supplier of O-rings over in the Foothills industrial area however I think they got bought out by someone else whose name I now can't remember. I'll see if I can figure it out, if I do I'll post back.
