The 2026 Symposium on Radon and Radiation Protection was a collaborative effort between the Canadian Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (CARST) and the Canadian Radiation Protection Association (CRPA). This partnership brought together the expertise and vast networks of two leading organizations dedicated to advancing radiation safety and promoting best practices in the field.

This year’s symposium was located in the traditional territory of Treaty Six First Nations and the homeland of the Métis. For thousands of years, Saskatoon has been a gathering place. Before the bridges and buildings of our contemporary cityscape, this land was a traditional travelling route and meeting ground for the Cree, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Métis, Dene, and Nakota Sioux peoples.
