Definitely a plus that BC Hydro has forewarned you of the outage. Buying a small generator should get you through with the least amount of hassle & you might be able to run a few other things in your home, like the fridge, to keep your steaks in the freezer compartment from thawing out. Or you could have bbq steak for dinner.
I've been meaning to get a small generator myself, the only backup I have is a couple of battery powered air pumps and car batteries with inverter. I've been very fortunate in that there have been no long term outages here in Vernon since I set up my tank. And yes, should you decide to buy a generator (as I probably should as well), plan to keep it. I have to agree that buying anything with the premeditated intent of returning it after having used it temporarily is not the mama.
