Two earthquakes near the Ontario-Quebec border could be felt across both provinces this morning.
Natural Resources Canada seismologist John Adams said the first quake was 5.2 magnitude and about 18 kilometres northeast of Shawville, Que.
The second quake came 10 minutes later from the same location and registered at 4.1 magnitude, said Adams.
Earlier, the quakes had been reported as originating near Braeside, Ont., about 75 kilometres west of Ottawa. Braeside is the location of the measuring station.
