A 4.2 magnitude earthquake shook Banff National Park in Alberta on Sunday morning (Jan. 26).
According to the United States Geographical Survey, the earthquake struck at approximately 4:39 a.m. about 55 kilometres northwest of the Banff townsite and 70 km northwest of Canmore.
Considered to be relatively mild, earthquakes within the 3.5 to 5.4 magnitude-range are often felt, but rarely cause damage, according to the government of Canada.
In February 2021, a 3.9 magnitude earthquake rumbled the Banff townsite.
