Radon is Coronation Park’s main hazard: 25% of tested homes in its area top Health Canada’s guideline
Around Coronation Park, wildfire is practically absent from the record: 0% within 25 km since 1986, 0.000% a year. Seismic risk runs low: $0.014 of expected damage per $1,000 of buildings a year, the typical town $0.030. Coronation Park grades C+ for hazard risk; wildfire is low here, so it earns no credit.

Coronation Park grades C+ for hazard risk
Seismic risk and radon set Coronation Park’s grade, wildfire can drag it down, and flood mapping stays out of it.
Its place: #74 of 104 in Saskatchewan and #2,005 of 2,589 Canadian towns.
How sure: Earthquake losses are a model’s expectation over many years, not a forecast for any one. The burned-area record misses fires under about 10 ha and most grass and farm fires.
Little of the land around Coronation Park has burned: 0% within 5 km, 0% within 25 km since 1986
Fires mapped since 1986 around where Coronation Park’s residents live, and the fuel next to their homes.
With 0.000% burned a year, Coronation Park is among the many low-band places (the typical Canadian town 0.000%).
Forest makes up 0% of the land within 5 km of Coronation Park and 0% within 25 km, little for a forest fire to run through.
Shares of land within 5 and 25 km of populated blocks: burned at least once in 1986–2025 (CWFIS burned-area composite), forest fuel and grass (fire behaviour fuel types, 2026, 250 m grid).
Burn rate a year, towns in Saskatchewan · highest of 104
Near-zero burning puts Coronation Park with 54 of the 104 towns in Saskatchewan, far below La Loche at 1.94%.
Each bar: the yearly average share of land within 25 km of a town’s homes that burned, 1986–2025 (CWFIS); the seven highest towns of 2,500 people or more.
The low band holds 92% of Canada’s 2,610 towns, and Coronation Park sits at its very bottom; only 7.5% are above it.
Bands of the yearly burn rate: low under 0.05%, moderate under 0.25%, high under 1%, very high 1% or more; towns of 2,500 people or more.

Coronation Park is on the flood map inventory: 1 study, by Water Security Agency
Flood studies whose area touches Coronation Park, from NRCan’s inventory, each linked to its owner.
One study on the inventory touches Coronation Park, Water Security Agency’s from 2025, and its area can be large, so it says a map exists, not that the town floods.

Towns with a flood study on file
Flood maps are thinner in Saskatchewan, 55% of towns against 58% nationally, but Coronation Park has one.
NRCan Canada Flood Map Inventory: a study footprint touching the town’s boundary; towns of 2,500 people or more.
Flood is shown here, never graded: a study says where a map exists, not how many of Coronation Park’s homes stand in a flood zone.
The inventory’s own caution (NRCan): “The Canada Flood Map (CFM) does not include every flood hazard map in Canada and may be incomplete or contain inaccuracies. It should not be relied upon as the official source of flood mapping information. Furthermore, if a map appears to be missing, this does not necessarily mean that the area has never been mapped. For the official version of a map, updated information, or confirmation of applicable regulations, please contact the local authority responsible for flood mapping.”

Little shaking expected in Coronation Park: $0.014 a year per $1,000
NRCan’s seismic risk model: the damage shaking is expected to do to buildings each year, on average over many years.
Shaking costs the typical town $0.030 a year; in Coronation Park it is only $0.014, 0.5 times as much.
Coronation Park doesn’t get its own earthquake risk figures; the ones here come from the city of Regina.
Shaking damage a year per $1,000 of building value

Get ready for what Coronation Park faces
Practical steps for Coronation Park’s hazards, most pressing first.
- Test for three months in winter.
- Over 200 Bq/m³: fix it.
- Kits are cheap; pros test too.
- Never drive through floodwater.
- Move papers and medicines upstairs.
- Ask whether your street is mapped.
- Clear needles and wood nearby.
- Keep a grab-and-go bag ready.
- In smoke, stay in; filter air.
- Has it had a radon test?
- Check the address on the flood map.
- Are flood and wildfire insured?
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Radon is a survey. Health Canada’s survey tested some 14,000 homes over three months; until postal-area boundaries are loaded, Coronation Park takes its 2007 health region’s share.
- Flood studies aren’t flood zones. The flood inventory points to maps; it is incomplete and not the official source, so ask the municipality about any street in Coronation Park.
- Wildfire counts one way. Burned land within 25 km of where people live, averaged over 1986–2025 and checked for fuel near homes, is the measure; it looks back, not ahead, and only ever counts against Coronation Park.
- Earthquakes are modelled. The earthquake figure is an expected loss, not a forecast, worked out by NRCan for each census subdivision, Coronation Park’s included.
Questions about flooding and hazards in Coronation Park
How is Coronation Park’s Hazard risk Grade worked out?
Hazard risk gives Coronation Park C+, weighing earthquakes and radon and counting wildfire only against it.
Is radon a problem in Coronation Park?
The area’s survey found 25% of 94 tested homes above Health Canada’s guideline, so a three-month test is worth doing in Coronation Park.
Does Coronation Park flood?
The inventory lists a study touching Coronation Park; whether a given street floods is on that map, not in the grade.
How big is the earthquake risk in Coronation Park?
Expected earthquake damage in Coronation Park comes to $0.014 a year for each $1,000 that buildings are worth.
Is Coronation Park at risk of wildfire?
Very little by the national record: Coronation Park’s band is low, with 0% of the land within 25 km burned since 1986, so wildfire doesn’t change its grade.
