Library Lending Program

As of November 2022,  The Portage La Prairie Regional Library, Central Plains Cancer Services, Take Action on Radon and the Lung Association of Manitoba have teamed up to provide residents with a digital radon detector testing program.

Since then many more libraries have launched their own radon detector lending programs. Patrons can check out a digital radon detector just like they would any book from their local library and screen the radon levels in their home.

While everyone should follow Health Canada radon testing guidelines and test their home with a long-term 3-month radon test kit, The library lending program provides patrons with an affordable option to see if further testing or mitigation is needed in their homes.

Participating Libraries can be found here

For every test kit sold through The Lung Association, Manitoba a portion goes toward helping low-moderate income households and those diagnosed with Lung Cancer afford home radon mitigations through our Lungs Matter Grant Program.
