The information session will also be available online. These kits are more sensitive than the ones provided through the provincial libraries.  Radon is a radioactive gas that is released by the breakdown of uranium in the soil. It is odourless, tasteless, and colourless, and can enter buildings and enclosed spaces undetected. Since Canadian homes are sealed against the weather, radon can become trapped indoors, building up to dangerous levels. Long-term exposure to high levels of radon damages the DNA in our lung tissue and is currently leading to over 3,000 Canadian deaths each year – more than the combined toll of car collisions, house fires, carbon monoxide poisoning and drowning.

Municipality of Miltonvale Park is PEI’s Most Active Community! 

Miltonvale Park wins funds after residents and organizations got active throughout June during the 2025 ParticipACTION Community Challenge presented by Novo Nordisk 

July 22, 2025 – The sixth edition of the ParticipACTION Community Challenge, a national physical activity and sport initiative that encourages everyone to get active throughout June, ended with the Rural Municipality of Miltonvale Park earning the title of PEI’s Most Active Community and winning funds to support local physical activity and sport initiatives.  

 Mayor Hal Parker notes, “I am extremely proud that Miltonvale Park has been named a winner of the ParticipACTION Community Challenge. Miltonvale Park residents and friends have worked and played very hard in June to reach this goal. I love to see the connections people make as they exercise and move together. We have been a finalist three times in the last four years, so we are delighted to finally come out on top!   We may be a small municipality, but we are a very active one, and we will continue to be active year-round.” 

Many local organizations, including the Pickleball Club, North Milton Women’s Institute, Milton Community Hall, and the Wheatley River 4-H Club, registered and held 21 events. The municipality also hosted many activities, including line dancing, hip hop, waltz, and chair step dance classes, a learn to play pickleball class, pole walking lessons, yoga, fitness, and gardening sessions.  Miltonvale Park hosted a virtual walk to Mt. Milton BC, and surpassed the 5270km journey by more than 1350 km. A “ Move More than the Mayor” contest, saw three residents walk more than Mayor Parker’s 330 kilometers in June.

The municipality’s plans for the $15,000 prize are not yet known. The municipality is hoping to develop Active Transportation Trails, invest in more upgrades to the community park, or expand its current fitness programs. Miltonvale Park will be planning a ParticipACTION Party in the Park to celebrate this win, and will release details as they become available.

Special thanks to all those residents and neighbours who took part, and to Zach Addison, who was the staff person with responsibility for the Community Challenge!
