    If you're willing to trek out to Vancouver, there's a store called The Foam Store at Broadway and Alma. I'm not sure how their selection of open celled foams would be, but I've heard generally good things about them.

    Swiss Tropicals carries Poret Foam (probably your best bet for open cell foam for aquatic purposes). You may try to arrange a group buy as I know there is local interest in their product .

    An expensive product but awesome. I bought a sheet before and cut out a block to use as a prefilter on a power head. After a couple years of use it still looks new.
