"Notarized letter" - where to get it done?

Ok, probably easy enough answer- I need a notarized letter declaring I am the owner of a safe.
The woman explained to me that in Canada I might be able to get the equivalent done by a bank with a stamp.
Someone other than a family member to say "yes this person has this safe and it is theirs".
Is there ususally a type of business or place you go for this sort of thing? Or should I just head down to my bank? I'll have the safe in the car with me - could I run into someone not wanting to notarize my letter because they might not believe it's mine?
Is there a template or something I could use for the letter or what should it cover besides signatures of both people, the date for each, and our names in print?
thanx
edit: hmmm seems I would see a "Notary Public" in this case.... but fuck me they want $40 for one notarization? Is there a cheaper way of doing this? I called my bank and they dont provide that kind of service at all.

But.. what the fuck state do you live in. I am a notary in Florida and I can only charge 10 dollars as the legal limit. 40 dollars is a dream.
But anyway: The UPS Store usually has a notary and they will probably price competatively. (if they have UPS stores around you)
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
Apparently MLAs are granted the same powers as Notary Publics... now to track one down (or find someone else who can do them :P)
Sadly it looks like everything I want to do today I cant because of the holiday. No locksmiths open, nobody around.
I am in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
I'm figuring this safe has some drugs in it, as you can hear something inside, and it's my drug dealing-on-probation brother's. It only just appeared recently and he had one before, but they forced him to get rid of it. He thought he could hide this one in the garage. It's a Sentry Safe with combination and lock.

That ought to help you. My MLA has an office that I can just drop in whenever I need something.
EDIT: Anyone aside from Deusfaux who replies with anything to the effect of "you can;t turn in you're bro to the fuzz!!11oneone!" can fuck right off.
So... if I get it cracked open myself and I find drugs, I can turn them/him in then.
Even if I could find a notary available today (doesnt look like it) I'd still need a locksmith likely as it has a key part to it too and they'd need to pick it... so I think all I have left to try is find an open locksmith. Though I tried several earlier today and they were all either not answering or on "emergency services" mode only.
I'd rather get this done now before he realises it's not where he left it. If confronted I'll have to lie for now and tell him the RCMP picked it up so he doesnt dump all the blame on me and doesnt think I have it in my possession.
Mostly likely marijuana of some kind. But knowing his history, extacy, salvia, cigarettes, booze, mushrooms, or wads of cash could be in there, or maybe something new like coke.
He is newly 17.
I was intending to call the RCMP immediately upon finding any (like - from the locksmith's) anyways.
1) A notarization only guarantees that a particular document was signed by the individual who claims to have signed it. That is, the notary verifies that I, John Smith, signed the document in his/her presence and that I presented adequate ID (usually a government ID) to prove that I am, in fact, John Smith.
2) The signature has to be done in the presence of the notary public.
3) A notary can charge for a signature but doesn't have to. If you have a family member or friend who is a notary, they can notarize for no charge as a favor.
4) A notarized letter doesn't guarantee anything more than a signature. I'm not sure why a safe company or a locksmith or anybody, really, would accept a notarized signature from just anybody who's not a family member (and how do they determine that?) A notarization doesn't guarantee the veracity of anything IN the document. So, I could put "I am the richest man in the world!" in a document, or "I am the owner of such-and-such safe" or "I own the mansion at such-and-such address," have it notarized, and all the notarization will show is that I was indeed the one that signed the paper. The notary doesn't care what the paper says and is not attesting to anything it says.
He says Mom or Dad would probably have more leeway to do this, and the courts would see things differently as it's their house and such.
So I can't go anywhere with my plans, only try to convince Mom she should do this. Problem is, she just wants the thing out of the house and isn't too concerned with what's in it. Being his mom, she probably doesnt want to go for his throat as much as I do. I see it as a an opportunity to nail something on him and get him both out of my life for a while/ get him the only treatment that might work at this point (jailtime). She'd rather just let the cops sorta catch up with him eventually (if ever). I want to help them along, dammit!
sigh.
