Check the WCHA builder/supplier directory -- http://www.wcha.org/buildsupply/
Several of the builders also sell building materials and parts -- you should be able to find what you need with a few phone calls.

This depends on exactly what you are looking for. The first stop is usually the builders list as Greg suggested. Most of them can easily supply flat rib stock without much trouble. Your message at http://forums.wcha.org/showthread.php?11078 mentioned that you have an Otca model. If you are looking for a rib that is already bent to the shape of your canoe then things get a bit more complicated since the original form for your canoe no longer exists. It is not difficult to use your current canoe as a form to bend replacement ribs as MGC described in his reply to your previous message.
