Shut-off valve cover lid

None of the big stores have any lids of any kind for this application. Found one supplier in BC but shipping is an arm and a leg. NEXT plumbing supplies don't carry them too.

Any ideas where I could pick on up around GTA?

If you cover it and you need it shut off in winter it can be a real bugger to get the cover off if it is frozen . The nut in the center is where the City curb key goes in to shut off the water to your property.
