“One of the things libraries do best is connect people with helpful resources,” said Allison Knights, Branch Head of the North Kamloops Library. “We’re glad to help bring this opportunity to our communities and connect residents with information they can trust.”

The TNRD said the 100 Radon Test Kit Challenge differs from the TNRL’s existing radon detector lending program, which continues as a short-term lending program.

Through the 100 Radon Test Kit Challenge, attendees will get a long-term testing kit, educational resources and direct support from experts.

“We still see many Canadians delaying radon testing despite growing awareness of the risks,” said Pam Warkentin, Executive Director of the Canadian Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (CARST) and Project Manager for Take Action on Radon.

“Programs like the 100 Radon Test Kit Challenge help communities take action to better understand and reduce radon exposure in their homes.”

Residents wanting to attend the information session on Wednesday (Oct. 28) at 7:00 p.m. must register in advance, and there ate a limited number of test kits available.
