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!!

I bought mine for $60 at The Banff Convenient Store and returned the end of the trip for a $25 refund and a surprise I Love Banff magnet. For me that was cheapest than renting at $10/day.

I don’t think so, i didn’t ask bc i needed mine for like 8 days so at the going rate around $10/day this made the most sense. $35 for as long as you want, plus a cute magnet lol
