I have been asked to make a small electronic device. I have

Does anyone have a source for electronics gear in Canada
There used to be about 6 parts stores in the Victoria Park and Steeles
area years ago but several of them have closed shop.
Sayal may still be there, and Future (or was it Active?) Electronics. I
always forget which is whichof Future and Active. I think Future
supports the commercial buyers while Active is more for the
consumer/hobbyist. The URL for Future is
http://www.futureelectronics.com/
Electrosonic (http://www.e-sonic.com/) used to be there but they closed
shop. I had heard they moved operations to the US but that might have
changed again since then.
If you are looking for prototype quantities there is always eBay. You
can do a search for Canadian sellers of parts.
Other options would be Arrow Electronics (http://www.arrow.com/), and
AVNET (http://www.avnet.com/). If you did want to check places in the
states you have Mouser, DigiKey, and Futurelec.
