You don't say where in BC you are located - but in Vancouver you could go 
to Our Community Bikes on Main St.  They had a bin full of used ones last 
time I was there, for cheap.

Have you used one before?  They might be popular in places like 
pancake-flat Holland, but my experience is that they pretty much suck for 
BC riding unless you live in Richmond or Fort St. John.  In hilly areas they 
barely come on when going uphill.  And I have burnt out several bulbs 
when using one going downhill.  I ditched mine for a battery system long 
ago.
