I found this on an Environment Canada site:

An average of 16 tornadoes occur in Alberta every year. An average of
41 tornadoes occur each year on the prairies. The last deaths due to
tornadoes on the prairies occurred during the July 31, 1987 Edmonton
tornado. Canada ranks second in the world for tornado occurrences after
the United States.
