Where to buy a bus in Ontario?

What are some good sites or places to watch for bus sales in Ontario / Canada?

govdeals.ca seems to be a front-end for govdeals.com, and there is only a single short bus listed in Canada.
gcsurplus.ca is the official government auction site, but they dont sell buses.

I had a look around kijiji but it seems like they're mostly failed skoolie attempts, with rotten out brake lines and other big issues.

I'm really worried about the rust issue. And being in canada, that means most busses are going to have rust issues. And with so few to choose from here, this seems like a monumental task to find a decent slate to work from.
Other than importing from the US, which i dont think i can do due to covid19 prohibiting travel, where should i look?

Call the local school bus garage and ask where they are liquidating the old buses.

Hey man!
I'm here in Canada as well and looking for a bus. As mentioned above also my concern goes for rust issues.
For my luck I live in Quebec area... Roads and rust, thats our specialty! Good for me!!!
But I guess I have no other option due to plandemic restrictions than get a local bus and suck up.


Yet I have no education on buses and don't know much about them.
I guess contacting local school garage could lead somewhere. Would be great to get started.


I found one place, but its in Quebec.
I'd come and travel more far if I could.
Let me know if you find any in Ontario.
