Default Best place to buy pressure treated plywood?

I need three 1/2" sheets to redo the deck on my trailer. Is there a place that sells 2nds around Edmonton (if there is such a thing)?

Not sure if you already know this but when I was repairing a hole in the decking of my trailer I found out that the plywood they use from manufacturer is "marine plywood" and not actually pressure treated although they look almost identical.
Marine grade plywood uses different glues in the lamination process so that when it does get wet it does not begin to swell/split and delaminate.....
You used to be able to get it at places like Windsor Plywood and yes it is expensive !

We built a little cabin on the our property this summer.
Prices on all wood was insane, turned out to be cheaper to use 2nd cut lumber for the walls than plywood. Little more work to sand them down but cheaper and stronger in the long run.

Could be an option?
