Brita Fill and go in Canada

[ottawa-newbie]

Does anyone know where I might be able to purchase a Brita fill and go bottle here in Canada? I heard on another thread that they've been discontinued in North America. Or does anyone have any suggestions about an alternative? I'm a water drinker, but really don't want to spend money on bottled water when I'm at the parks or in hotel room. Thanks a bunch

I found the Brita bottles in Canadian Tire last October but was told they were being discontinued....I was lucky enough to find the refills on clearance in Walmart. I know they will give you free ice at most of the food stands at WDW if you ask nicely - so try taking a wide mouth bottle. I didn't find the water in the drinking fountains to be too bad.

Hello fellow Ottawanian!

That's disappointing news - we don't have replacement filters for ours and we haven't used them since our last trip in Oct '00. I checked good old Mountain Equipment Coop and found these:

A little expensive and perhaps a bit of overkill (it filters out a lot of micro-organisms), but it is bigger than our Brita water bottles. It says it filters out the chlorine taste as well.

I saw quite a few brand new ones on ebay. I purchased three of them. Shipping was pretty cheap too. Less than 5 bucks.

Thanks - I always like a visit to MEC every now and then! I'll check them out in person next time i'm there.

P.S. Isn't this weather lovely???

Check the running room as well. I know they carry their own brand of filtered water bottles.

Thanks to your question I began my search for filters for my own Brita Sports bottle. I finally found filters at a local Canadian Tire store. They also seem to have them on Canadiantire.ca Product code 42-1272-6 for the filters they are $8.99/2 plus shipping. Hope this helps
