PORT ALICE, B.C. – A magnitude-6.3 earthquake has struck off the coast of Vancouver Island.

The US-based National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says no tsunami is expected after the quake hit around 6 p.m. PT, about 136 kilometres southwest of Port Alice. The agency says the quake was recorded at a depth of about 43.5 kilometres.

No injuries have been reported.

The West Coast continues to experience earthquakes and aftershocks following a magnitude-7.7 quake that struck Haida Gwaii on Oct. 27. Nobody was injured in that incident but the shaking managed to turn off the taps of some natural hot springs.

On Sunday, a magnitude-5.2 quake was recorded 90 kilometres southeast of Sandspit, on Haida Gwaii.
