Government Grant Assistance with Mitigation Costs

Lastly, we want to remind you of the details of the Radon Mitigation Grant.  The Canadian Lung Association has a radon mitigation grant of $1500 towards the cost of a radon mitigation system.  This is intended to help homeowners who can't afford radon mitigation.  In order to qualify for this grant, a homeowner must provide a radon report of 91 days duration or longer using an approved device (such as an Alpha track detector - a test using a consumer-grade electronic radon monitor will not qualify ).  Homeowners must apply with a quote from a certified C-NRPP professional prior to getting any work done ,and they must show proof of qualification which includes proof of income below the criteria or lung cancer diagnosis.  I've attached a sheet of easy to print and cut information about the grant.  You can find more information online here: https://www.lung.ca/lungs-matter-radon-mitigation-support   (the application link is on the red bar).

 

Requirements for application

- a Radon measuremetn of 91 days or longer using a C-NRPP approved device

Radon Testing

Over the last few months I have had the opportunity to test several homes in area's of Waterloo Region and surrounding. The Radon Content in Waterloo Region and surrounding areas show consistant with the Ontario map which was supplied by Health Canada. Every home has Radon. The key is the amount of Radon Content in the soils under the homes and building we live and work in. The threshold limit for Radon according to health Canada is 200Bq/m3. The lowest test I have completed wa 27Bq/m3. The highest is well beyond the 200 Bq/m3 limit. Radon is directly related to approx 3200 deaths per year in Canada alone. All the tests I have completed show only one falls into the gaurded category. The balance fall into the high and elevated areas. The tests should be completed in areas of concrete slab - soil contact, and where people and pets live in these areas for 4 or more hours per day.
