A small earthquake occurred about 25 kilometres southeast of Victoria in the Juan de Fuca Strait on Saturday evening.
It had a magnitude of about two and was recorded at 6:43 p.m., John Cassidy, a seismologist with Natural Resources Canada, said on Twitter.
The event was a “small, friendly and regular reminder of an active earthquake zone,” he said.
Anyone who felt a slight shaking is asked to report it using Earthquakes Canada’s online form.
