Earlier this year, a 5.0 magnitude earthquake struck near the community of Reno in northern Alberta. According to the United States Geological Society (USGS), a 4.8 magnitude quake struck nearby around 15 minutes before the 5.0 shaker.

The same area was rattled by numerous quakes last November, including a 5.8 magnitude that was felt as far away as Edmonton.
