We went with a product that looks a lot like granite or corian, but it's actually MDF thats been hand-painted to look like stone, then clear coated. It fools people all the time, and cost the same as a high-end laminate.
This was in Regina, and I don't know if it'd be available in Ft Mac. It was a whole lot more customisable than the other options, basically the guy showed us samples, we tweaked it to our liking, he did up a test piece and we approved it.
It's great stuff, apparently once it's cured (takes a while) you can put a pot on it right off the stove with no ill effects (have not tried it).
