Default Alum source for reflectors?

Where is a CDN place to get Spectral alum, or better for making your own reflectors? I want to make some reflectors for my tank. I have the tools, don't have the material.

I think I can roll it and put it into a box. I wouldn't want to kink it. It's pretty rigid stuff. It comes with a plastic film on it to protect the finish. If you want, I can get a quote from Canada Post.

Sure, that'd be great. I do know CP has these round "Mail Tubes", but not sure if they would have a round tube big enough?
