Also of course kijiji. Spirit West used to sell used/consignment gear - they probably still do, but I haven't been in years (never to their new location). Pretty good consignment store in Canmore, and I've heard there's a good one in Cochrane (never been though).
Another good thing to remember re: sleeping bags is that the actual temp at your campsite is likely at least a few degrees colder than whatever the nearest forecast location said. Also, sleeping alone is a lot colder than with an adjacent meat bag (cold sleepers/crappy sleeping bags in the middle). And, ventilation is your friend (especially with lots of people in the tent) - keeping everything sealed up will feel a few degrees warmer as you go to bed, but the 90% humidity a few hours later will chill you to the bone.
