It is not canada specific. There are maps online like https://radonmap.com/ found another one here https://radonkit.ca/blog/radon-gas-map-for-canada-potential-radon-levels-across-canada/
I didn’t think my area was high but all the maps I find say it is. Maybe time for a test…
Edit: fixed link.
100% recommend a professional test and not just disposable things. They’ll set up a few machines on tripods for a few days and you’ll get to see highs/lows in different rooms instead of just a yes/no or a peak value. Can really help make a good decision about mitigation
