Canada's National Earthquake Scenario Catalogue - Beaufort Fault - Magnitude 5.2
The Beaufort fault in Eastern Vancouver Island is probably an active fault, near Courtenay/Comox/Cumberland. Based on current science, this fault may have ruptured in the 1946 magnitude 7.3 Vancouver Island Earthquake. This scenario represents a smaller magnitude 5.2 event.
Canada's National Earthquake Scenario Catalogue - Queen Charlotte Fault - Magnitude 8.0
In 1949 a magnitude 8.1 earthquake occurred on the Queen Charlotte Fault, off the west coast of the Haida Gwaii archipelago. This magnitude 8.0 scenario along the Queen Charlotte Fault is slightly different and closer to population centres than the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that occurred in 2012.
Canada's National Earthquake Scenario Catalogue - Gloucester Fault - Magnitude 5.6
A magnitude 5.6 rupture scenario near Ottawa along the Gloucester Fault in the south of the city. This fault is not known to be active, but this scenario is representative of seismicity in the Ottawa Valley.
Canada's National Earthquake Scenario Catalogue - Mystery Lake - Magnitude 5.0
A magnitude 5 earthquake scenario along an unnamed fault located about 15 km north-northeast of Burnaby City Hall and directly south of Mt Elsay. This fault is not known to be active, but this scenario represents a small but damaging event in the North Shore Mountains.
Canada's National Earthquake Scenario Catalogue - Milles-ÎIes Fault - Magnitude 5.9
A magnitude 5.9 earthquake near Montreal, along the Milles-Îles Fault. This fault is not known to be active, but this scenario represents a small but damaging event near the City of Montreal.
Canada's National Earthquake Scenario Catalogue - Leech River Full Fault - Magnitude 7.3
Full rupture of the Leech River Fault, a fault that cuts southern Vancouver Island and extends beneath Greater Victoria. Based on current science, this magnitude 7.3 earthquake scenario represents the strongest ground shaking event that could strike the region, and is one of Greater Victoria’s most severe events.
Canada's National Earthquake Scenario Catalogue - Cascadia Interface Best Fault - Magnitude 9.0
Full rupture of the Cascadia interface fault, the fault defining the boundary between the North American and Pacific Ocean plates. This magnitude 9.0 event, often referred to as ‘The Big One’, affects most communities in southwestern British Columbia.
Canada's National Earthquake Scenario Catalogue - Southey Point - Magnitude 5.7
Magnitude 5.7 earthquake scenario located directly southeast of Ladysmith Town Centre. This fault is not known to be active, but this scenario represents a small but damaging event near Ladysmith and Burleith Arm.
Canada's National Earthquake Scenario Catalogue - Queen Charlotte Fault - Magnitude 7.7
In 1949 a magnitude 8.1 earthquake occurred on the Queen Charlotte Fault, off the west coast of the Haida Gwaii archipelago. This magnitude 7.7 scenario along the Queen Charlotte Fault is slightly different and closer to population centres than the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that occurred in 2012.
Canada's National Earthquake Scenario Catalogue - Southey Point - Magnitude 5.5
Magnitude 5.5 earthquake scenario located directly southeast of Ladysmith Town Centre. This fault is not known to be active, but this scenario represents a small but damaging event near Ladysmith and Burleith Arm.
