Major Landslides Causing Fatalities

Landslides are the downslope movements of sediment and rock. They can be found in any part of Canada, even in areas with very little relief. They happen in bedrock or in loose sediment, on land or under water. They can be large or small, rapid or slow, and generally occur without warning. This map depicts 45 landslides in Canada that have resulted in more than 600 fatalities in historical times (1840 - 2006).
