In the fall of 2023 our team hosted a webinar for Municipalities in Alberta on the basics of radon and what actions municipalities can take.  You can find this webinar online here.

Recent surveys of municipalities has shown that they have heard of radon, but they don’t know what resources are available to them.

This information session was developed to help answer common question that Municipal leaders have about radon.

Including:

  • What is radon and is it an issue in my area?
  • What actions on radon can be done which don’t take a lot of time and money?
  • Is there a quick checklist with some easy steps that municipalities can take to help their citizens with radon?
  • Why should municipalities be concerned about radon – when it’s a health issue, which is a provincial/federal issue?

Here are some links which were shared during the session that we think you will find helpful.
