Where to buy helmets in GVRD?

So I need a couple helmets for this riding season. I'm looking for a xc-ish lid, as well as a full-face.

I got a great deal on a Giro E2 many years ago, and liked it. I wore it for everything other than DH, so I don't think I really need a Xen or anything. Commuting will be its major use.

I was in NS Bikeswap (I think…near Dollarton/Old Dollarton?) in North Van back in July, and they seemed to have a good selection for good prices. Is this still the case?

I'm not too picky about the fullface, but for the other lid I'd love it to be white or silver.

Any ideas? I'm hoping to find closeouts and sales.

I've seen some nice TLD and 661 fullfaces, and a Giro xc helmet on Chainlove the past couple of days. May want to watch there. The TLD SE2 was 60% or more off and almost made me pull my cc out.

Killer deals.

Chainlove has a 661 Carbon helmet now, but it's too risky with fit and exchange rates. I think I'm better off buying from somewhere I can try it on. Plus supporting Canadian shops is always good too.

right now, the exchange rate will rate. it's still may be cheaper if you buy alot of quantity, but it's not worth it, especially for helmet where you have to try before buying.
