I've heard that some manufacturers will test a helmet, after they've been crashed, for integrity. We just have to send them in. Can anyone verify that? Also, anyone know of the who/what/where I need to get into contact with for this sort of stuff? Thanks.

depends what helmet, but I would say email them directly told them your helmet saved your life and sometimes maybe they will throw a free t shirt and stickers your way, in the case of a friend I knew, Arai hooked him up with a new lid after he turned his in.
Is there any places here in BC that will inspect lids or is it better off sending it to the manufacturer? The lid in question is an HJC.
Check out this thread or bill here should have the info for Arai.
