I was unable to find the article you referenced (issue 130(1) is for June, not January, but still didn't contain the article). Chen did publish an article in the July 2008 issue which had a map. Not particularly helpful; the 37 test sites were taken in a straight-ish line from Ottawa to Sarnia and therefore don't address Hamilton...

Chen's conclusion:

Except for the city of Toronto, information on indoor radon concentrations is generally unknown for most areas in southern Ontario. Since radon in soil is the main source of radon in homes, measurements of soil gas radon concentrations were conducted to assess the natural background variation in radon potentials across Southern Ontario. Results from this study indicate that radon risk could be high in some areas of Southern Ontario.

I'd say put this worry on the back burner. Best to avoid the packed-earth floor lifestyle trend though. I'm much more worried about mortality getting me. Is there a test for that?
