A land acknowledgement, in practice
Words are easy. Testing isn’t.
Health Canada and the First Nations Health Authority have identified radon as a serious environmental health concern in rural and remote Indigenous communities — yet routine testing remains uncommon on much of the Island. The cost of long-term kits, lab work, and follow-up is the most common barrier we hear about. We’ve removed that cost.
What we offer
Four ways we contribute back.
Each of these is delivered at no cost to Indigenous households or community organizations on Vancouver Island.
Clear, readable reports
Every report — for every client — comes in plain English with the numbers, what they mean against the Health Canada guideline, and the practical next steps. We’re happy to walk through a report with your health centre when that’s useful.
How partnerships start
Simple, on the community’s schedule.
01
Get in touch
Band office, health centre, school, or community member — any first contact works. We reply within two business days.
02
Scoping conversation
We meet (in person or virtually) to understand how many households want kits and the best way to get them delivered.
03
Kits ship at our cost
Long-term detectors ship to a single point of contact (band office, health centre, or directly to households) with simple set-up instructions.
04
Follow-up support
We stay available after the report lands — for plain-language interpretation, mitigation referrals, or re-testing once changes are made.
Common questions
What community partners ask first.
Who pays for the test kits and lab work?
We do. There is no cost to the household or the community for radon kits, lab analysis, or the written report.
Do you share results with anyone outside the household?
No. Results belong to the household. We only share aggregated, anonymized data with a partnering health centre if the community has specifically asked for that.
Can you support remote or fly-in communities on the Island?
Yes. We ship kits with prepaid return mailers and coordinate timing and delivery with the band office or health centre.
Is this a paid program, a partnership, or a sponsorship?
It's a commitment from us as a Vancouver Island business operating on these lands. There is no charge and no obligation on the community's side.
