Additionally, an EF2 was recently confirmed in Labrador from 2018, which happened to be that county’s first ever recorded tornado!

An updated map regarding the tornado counts as well as the highest rated tornado in all Canadian census divisions since 1980, with the exception of Ontario, which has sporadic data back to the 1790s. The map now has data valid through 2024. 1/3

Interesting observation: The Kenora region in NW ON leads Canada with 114 tornadoes, with the vast majority recorded since 2000 due to the rise of satellite analysis. Population centers such as Calgary, Edmonton, and Regina all appear as hotspots, likely as a result of more reports from higher pop.

Small hobby project over the summer.... analyzing the tornado counts of each census division in Canada, as well as their highest rated tornado, as far back as data is available (1980 for all provinces/territories except Ontario, which has sporadic data back to 1792). Valid through 2023.
