Earthquakes in Canada — June 2026

16 earthquakes were recorded in Canada during June 2026, 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 Mont-Joli, Canada on 18 June 2026 at 14:21 UTC. A magnitude 4.4 earthquake radiates roughly 60 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is close to the Canada monthly average of 21 events over the period we cover, and down from the 17 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 8 in the magnitude 1 range, 5 in the magnitude 2 range, 2 in the magnitude 3 range, 1 in the magnitude 4 range.

Activity peaked on 05 June, when 3 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M4.4 near Mont-Joli, Canada on 18 June at 10 km; M3.2 near Whitehorse, Canada on 05 June at 10 km; M3.0 near Whitehorse, Canada on 05 June at 5 km.

That is 24% below the 21 events Canada averages per month across the 21 months on record.
