Watching all of this incredible news coverage about Artemis II made me realize that my kiddo’s elementary school (senior grade) did not seize the opportunity to create a lesson plan around this for students, particularly because it is relevant and timely, and so visual . There could have even been a partnership between an astronomy organization and the public school system.

With 1/3 of the world’s Helium supply offline (Qatar’s), I am wondering if BC LNG plants produce much Helium.

Sorry, I could not post to the Victoria subreddit because I don't have enough karma. Also, ideally, I'm hoping to hear from someone who moved from Toronto.

I live in Toronto right now and I find the humidity (or lack of humidity) pretty unbearable during the winter. My eyes are constantly burning, I wake up with a bloody nose from the dry air, you know... the works. So, I am considering moving, and Victoria is one place that came up in my search. Apparently, the weather there isn't so bad. Doesn't get super cold, which should contribute to more comfortable humidity.

My concern now is that Victoria may not be the solution to my problem. The low humidity in Toronto is a product of the cold temperatures, but also (and maybe more because of) the need to heat indoor air. Looking at Victoria, it seems like I'd still need to rely on heating since it does get a bit cold, which makes me think I'll have the same issues there.

So, if anyone who has experienced the same issues as I have with low humidity and then moved to Victoria (or the surrounding areas) can comment on this, it would be much appreciated. I'm trying to figure out whether I should move to BC, leave the country or just tough it out in Toronto.

Thanks in advance.
