Hiawatha 15.5 stability?

I found a product in my local valhalla store that looks like a good product for locking the canoe when on the roof racks. www.stickprotection.com

where to purchase babiche/rawhide seats

I recently purchased a 15' foot hiawatha cedarstrip canoe and it came with cane seats (bolted in place)and I would like to change them to rawhide/babiche for a more traditional look.Is there a place that sells them retail? Is there any canoe building /refurbish businesses in Alberta?


Thanks
