for rappelling you want to stay away from dynamic...static lines are what you will want. MEC is a great bet...in kelowna you could go to Valhalla Pure, they are an outdoor store but prices are higher. Make sure you learn how to set up a good anchor and know what you're doing before you go out or go with someone who does...very easy to die rappelling and the most common causes of death in the climbing community...
Be safe learn first
