On September 23, 2026, Algoma Public Health invited Elliot Lake residents to join the 100 Radon Test Kit Challenge, as posted in the health unit news item. Free sessions are set for Thursday, October 8 at Collins Hall with kits available afterward. Public health inspector Ben Pilon urged households to complete the three-month winter test.

OpenStats lists Elliot Lake on property tax, water, and connectivity pillars, but the 2025 indoor radon survey has no community row for Elliot Lake. Composite rank is #323 with 39.1% standing from four pillars. Direct residential mill rate rank remains #1 of 57 verified Ontario rows at 20.97 mills. Building permit value is unplaced because Elliot Lake lacks a verified municipal building-permit row.
