Okay I know this sounds odd but I am on a hunt for dry ice. Anyone know where I can find it in the Etobicoke/Brampton/Mississauga area? Thanks!
Dry Ice?

I used to use it in labs. The problem for you to transport it is that you need a cold place to store it because it will sublimate quickly (go from solid to gas). My guess is you want it for your show?
Try some places that sell science equipment and chemicals..... not your efston or mall type place.
This website has some interesting general info

Here's an unexpected site for toronto

They list Adelaide St Toronto as their address
Google never cease to amaze me. My advice is if you need it more than once shop around..... not sure what a good price is. Find some nice grad student and he might be able to sneak you a bucket. LOL

LoL yea I need just need a small amount for my show like a thermos of it I guess lol I dont know... someone mentioned a place around queensway n the 427..
Dry ice is readily available at major wielding supply stores. These are places that cater to the trade. Dry ice is used to shrink metal which is often done in fabrication.
It comes wrapped in paper and can last quite a long time. It's comes in blocks and you'll need to carry it in a cooler. It won't fit through the neck of a thermos bottle.

Just go and pick up one of those smoke machines from Party Packagers for something like $50. Unless of course your show is a travelling science show and you need the real thing.
Be sure to transport it in your trunk and not in the passenger compartment of your car!!! If you have a hatchback keep a window cracked, the fan on and air recirculation off so that air circulates in the car. Keeping it in a cooler is a good idea as this slows down the rate at which the CO2 gas is generated as the dry ice sublimates and makes your dry ice last longer.
CO2 is not poisonous, but it is heaver than air and will displace air. It can cause you to suffocate or black out in an enclosed space with no air circulation.

The dry ice wont be in contact with my skin and the smoke machiene doesnt give the same effect for what I need.. thanks everyone for the replies
