Tornadoes rarely happen in BC because usually in the summer months , we don't have 30-40 Degree Celcius weather. The hottest it usually gets in BC is about 29 degrees. Hot humid weather is the most conducive to tornado formation. More specifically the cold Pacific Ocean of the coast of BC keeps the lower atmosphere cold and thus stable, making difficult for strong thunderstorms to form, which are needed in order to produce tornadoes.

Do mini tornadoes happen where big ones happen?

That depends on what you mean by "mini tornado" as it has no real definition. If you mean small, weak tornadoes, then yes. Even in areas prone to large tornadoes, the smaller ones will still be in the majority. However, weak tornadoes are rarely heavily covered unless they strike in places not not normally associated with tornadoes.
