What kind of store sells calcium chloride in Canada

Isn't that used for melting ice. I would think it would be widely
available, not so here in Atlanta!

Check a pharmacy.



It's a low temperature ice melter. Whether you can buy it in a
pharmacy, you can certainly buy it large quantities for melting ice. For
example:

It's a common ingredient in many premium ice melters.

It's also has characteristics that it make it suitable for desiccant
dehumidifying/air conditioning.
