Yes. As recently as January 2008, in southern Alberta. There have been quakes recently near Dawson Creek and Grande Prairie. Quakes are often associated with the Rocky Mountain tectonics. But most quakes are low magnitude - less than 6.0, and usually much lower. The earth is always changing and moving, and quakes of some degree can occur almost anywhere. One of the largest quakes in the USA in recorded history occured in southern Illinois - not an area one usually thinks of being associaed with large quakes. Hope this answers your question.
