You might try Supremetronic on Queen Street in Toronto. If they don't have it, Active Components might. I might have an extra if you're really really stuck, though I'd have to look. Couldn't you order one from Digikey though? I'd imagine you could have it overnighted to whereever you are working. I suppose a lack of credit cards might be an issue though.
