A tornado was confirmed to have touched down near Pelly, Sask., on Sunday as the province saw stormy conditions during the day, according Environment Canada.
The agency said information on damage and the category of the tornado is not known at this time, but it is working with the Northern Tornadoes Project to determine those details.
A summary provided by the agency on Monday said the tornado was observed at approximately 6:10 p.m., with multiple reports through social media and storm reports also received.
The London, Ont.-based organization at Western University will send out a team to the region to analyze damage in the area and Environment Canada says it will provide further details once available.
