We are challenging municipalities across Canada to take part in the 100 Radon Test Kit Challenge.
Sign up today to join this challenge for 2019-2020 fall and winter.
The 100 Radon Test Kit Challenge targets municipalities across Canada where radon testing has thus far been limited, but where there is a potential for homes to have elevated radon levels. The program will provide 100 test kits to each participating municipality, to be distributed to citizens for free or for a nominal fee. We are currently recruiting Community Liaisons to take on this project in their community.
Congratulations to the following communities who have already signed up:

Do you think your community would be a great candidate for this project? Then maybe you’d like to become a Community Liaison.
Each community needs a Community Liaison:
- this is an individual(s) who is with a non-profit organization; municipal employee or works for a non-corporate entity
- the individual(s) would be committed to developing a Recruitment Plan to share information with their community members to help recruit 100 participants for the project (resources for a recruitment plan can be found below)
- the individual(s) would develop an idea for distribution and collection strategy for the radon test kits (see ideas below) including a method and timeline, and also help their community members with the online sign-up
- work with the Take Action on Radon team to keep us in touch with success and challenges so we can provide some assistance
- report back to us with lessons learned; we would love to be able to use your success and challenges to help other communities
