Earthquakes Canada says the 4.2 magnitude quake struck about 36 kilometres south of the city of Grande Prairie, and was a possible industry-related event.
The quake was said to be lightly felt in Grande Prairie and the surrounding area.
Earthquakes Canada’s magnitude scale says quakes between 3.5 and 5.4 are “often felt, but rarely cause damage.”
