From the little bit that I know about Geology in Western Canada the occurrence and concentration of uranium rich rocks is very limited in Southern Alberta. As such, I wouldn't get too freaked out about my basement getting filled with radon. If I lived in areas with higher Uranium concentrations like Northern Saskatchewan or parts of Ontario I would probably look into it more seriously.

According to this map, we're in the highest risk zone:
