{contact.email_greeting},

Welcome to the fall edition of our newsletter! With the rustling of leaves, crisp mornings, and new routines, comes a sense of being able to look forward instead of just behind. The learnings and hurdles of 2020 have (sometimes unwillingly) not only made us all more resilient but have also given us pause to take stock and slow down.

We are all spending more time in our homes and truly treasure the time with loved ones. As such, this is an opportune time to think about the small things you can do to continue to protect yourself and your loved ones outside of the pandemic. For example, have you ever tested your home for radon?

Saskatchewan continues to have some of the highest readings for radon in the country, and The Lung Association of Saskatchewan continues to be one of the most reliable and trusted vehicles for testing radon. Get your kit today at https://www.homeradontest.ca/

From our family at The Lung Association to yours, please continue to take good care and please stay committed to your health and safety and that of your community.
