During this event, participants will learn from public health and industry experts how to take action on radon, find out about available resources and tools, as well as ask questions. While online to register, residents may also sign up to attend a free radon gas webinar on Wednesday, October 28 at 6:00 pm. Individual test results will be available and sent to each participant in early Spring 2021. Those receiving a kit will be asked to follow the instructions for completing the 90-day minimum test and return their kit to their local government office in late February 2021. The kits are being offered to any Central Okanagan resident on a first-come, first-serve basis, limited to one free test kit per property, and must be picked up the week of November 2-6 from their local government office. Residents can go online to /radonchallenge to learn more about radon gas and register for their free test kit by October 26, 2020. With many Canadians spending more time at home, it’s the perfect time to focus on improving indoor air quality.

That’s why the RDCO Air Quality program is joining forces with Interior Health and Health Canada’s Take Action on Radon initiative to offer 400 free radon test kits for Central Okanagan residents. The Central Okanagan is considered by the federal government to be at a high risk for this radioactive gas that escapes from the ground into buildings. As the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, high levels of radon in your home could be making you and your family sick. Radon is an odourless and invisible gas that can be found inside any building.
