Rest in Peace Jill 😇🪽Mar 26, 2026 In Tribute: Remembering Jill Hall, a Champion for Radon Awareness
It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Chilliwack REALTOR® Jill Hall, a passionate and deeply committed advocate whose work significantly advanced radon awareness in BC. Jill’s clear, informed voice, grounded in lived experience, brought attention to a serious and preventable health risk, and her impact will be felt for years to come.
Jill’s advocacy was both personal and purposeful. Following her diagnosis of radon-induced lung cancer, she chose to speak openly about her experience to help protect others. She believed strongly that awareness saves lives and dedicated herself to ensuring that radon was better understood by professionals, decision-makers, and the public alike.
Over several years, Jill worked closely with real estate boards, associations, regulators, local governments, and organizations such as the BC Lung Foundation. She raised concerns, shared research, encouraged education, and helped elevate radon as an issue requiring attention across sectors. Her correspondence reflects a collaborative spirit and a deep commitment to consumer and public health.
Beyond advocacy, Jill was generous with her time and energy. She regularly responded to members of the public seeking guidance, encouraged testing and mitigation, and shared resources with anyone who reached out. Many individuals have credited Jill’s work with prompting them to test their homes and take action – steps that may ultimately save lives.
Jill also understood the power of public conversation. Through media engagement and community dialogue, she helped ensure radon was no longer an invisible issue. Her message was consistent and clear: radon is a real health risk, and awareness matters.
Chilliwack REALTOR® Jill Hall stands against a black backdrop
As Jill’s former managing broker, BCREA Professional Services Support Advisor Jim McCaughan knew her well.
“I had the privilege of working with Jill for two years,” he said. “Our relationship really expanded as she became a powerful and effective advocate and champion for radon gas awareness in BC. I was proud to know her and call her a friend.”
Jill leaves behind a legacy defined by courage, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to protecting others. Her efforts supported broader public awareness campaigns, advanced professional resources and educational materials, and contributed to the inclusion of radon in the Property Disclosure Statement. In doing so, she strengthened clarity around disclosure, consumer protection, and the growing recognition of radon as a latent defect.
Jill also believed deeply in the power of shared learning. The Community of Practice webinar sessions* that emerged around radon created space for ongoing dialogue, professional learning, and collaboration, ensuring the conversation continued beyond any single campaign.
Her legacy will live on in the awareness she raised, the conversations she started, and the countless people who now know to ask an essential question: “Have you tested your home for radon?” She will be remembered with respect, gratitude, and admiration.
In Jill’s honour, and in support of the education she so strongly believed in, BCREA will be providing complimentary access to our Radon for REALTORS® course from now until May 1, 2026. Interested participants can use code BCREAradon2026 to receive 30 days of free access to the course.
