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.
Not intending to hyjack but we also do this at work if you cant find a seal we need or if we reseal a housing without taking it right apart we will cut the seal and put it around a shaft and glue together. Works very well
