Did you know?
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in Canada. In confined spaces like a house, radon can build up to high levels and over time, become a health risk.
It's never too early to start spreading holiday cheer!
Christmas Seals have been a Canadian tradition for over a century. Nothing spreads joy or says "I care about lung health" quite like our Christmas Seals. Funds raised from sales of our Christmas Seals support important research into life-threatening lung conditions.
