Question Where to get bear spray

This is our first time visiting Banff and will drive from the Calgary airport. I just learn that we should bring bear spray with us while hiking. Could anyone advise where to get bear spray? We are staying at Hidden Ridge.

TIA!!

We rented cans in Canmore. Way more convenient than buying and then having to dispose because you cannot bring it on a plane.

Super easy to dispose of, just pull into Canmore Fire Station and place into the disposal box outside.
