Feel the power of an 8.0-magnitude quake Wednesday, Oct. 18 in the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) ShakeZone simulator, which will be set up from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Pinetree Community Centre (1260 Pinetree Way) as part of its 2017 B.C. tour.
Research indicates there is a 30 per cent chance southwest B.C. will be hit by a significant earthquake in the next 50 years. The ShakeZone – a mobile trailer that shakes and moves – gives residents a chance to safely experience the effects of a major earthquake, while serving as a reminder of the importance of being prepared.
The Oct. 18 event, which is also sponsored by Fortis BC, will feature displays and information.
