Vancouver is no where close to where the earthquake happened so most likely would not be felt there. the earthquake was in the haida gwaii region.

There's fault lines running through BC. If you look at the Pacific map of the ring of fire, it's no wonder...



That's a big quake tho

My brother lives in Vanderhoof and he was saying his car was rocking back and forth in the garage. It felt like a boat ride he said.
