Helium

[red-panda]

Can anyone in the Vancouver area tell me where I can get helium in small quantities? I need to fill a microblimp, and I don't know where to find stuff yet as I've only been here 2 months. I'm in the False Creek area, so somewhere central would be best.

thanks

Most "party" stores have machine for filling helium balloons. By party store I mean the stores the women go to, to buy all the crap for weddings, notice usually always helium filled balloons at these grave events. Should be a ton in yellow pages under "party supplies".

Dollar stores fill Helium baloons, might be worth a shot.. Not sure about a bottle of Helium though.. but the dollar stores are everywhere.

I am a Mechanic/ welder and have seen it at the local welding supply store, where you get oxy acc bottles filled.

Thanks for the advice guys, I've found http://www.thepartybazaar.com 3 blocks away from me, and they're happy to fill my blimp for a couple of bucks, although I do get some strange looks as I walk it back home.
