Where to buy lexan in the GTA?

Any suggestions on where I can buy lexan sheets in the GTA or surrounding areas?
If they're able to cut and modify it, I'd prefer that rather than just a supplier.

Thanks.

Piedmont Plastics in Scarborough is where I picked up a couple 4x8 sheets of Polycarbonate (not Lexan brand, but same material).

It's easy enough to cut with a jig saw if you have the time.

Frank, if you end up having to fabricate in polycarbonate, there are a couple of tricks I have learned over the years. If you want, PM me and I can help. Of note, do not use normal drills in poly; the drills are too aggressive and will "bite" the material and fracture. Couple of different ways to cut the material as well
