Earthquakes in Canada — June 2025
14 earthquakes were recorded in Canada during June 2025, an average of 0.5 per day.
1 reached magnitude 4 or above and 0 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 5 km.
The month's largest event in Canada was a magnitude 4.4 earthquake near Fort St. John, Canada on 11 June 2025 at 18:28 UTC. A magnitude 4.4 earthquake radiates roughly 60 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is below the Canada monthly average of 21 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month, and down from the 27 recorded the previous month.
100% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 0% intermediate (70–300 km) and 0% deep-focus (over 300 km). Almost everything here is crustal. That is characteristic of transform faulting or continental deformation rather than subduction — and it means shaking at the surface is strong for the magnitudes involved.
By band, the catalogue holds 2 in the magnitude 0 range, 7 in the magnitude 1 range, 3 in the magnitude 2 range, 1 in the magnitude 3 range, 1 in the magnitude 4 range.
Activity peaked on 21 June, when 3 events were recorded.
The month's largest events were M4.4 near Fort St. John, Canada on 11 June at 10 km; M3.8 near Cow Bay, Canada on 23 June at 10 km; M2.1 near Princeton, Canada on 21 June at -0 km.
That is 34% below the 21 events Canada averages per month across the 21 months on record.
