A 4.6-magnitude struck off the coast of Vancouver Island Tuesday morning, but there were no reports of damage and none was expected.
Earthquakes Canada said the quake struck at a depth of 10 kilometres in the Pacific Ocean, 189 kilometres northwest of Port Hardy, at 6:10 a.m.
No one reported feeling any shaking to Earthquakes Canada, and no tsunami was produced as a result.
Vancouver Island is considered an active earthquake zone, where the squeezing of two tectonic plates causes hundreds of small temblors every year.
