Environment Canada has confirmed five tornadoes touched down in central and southern Alberta over the course of four days.
The agency says two of the twisters were rated EF-1 while the others were EF-0, meaning moderate to light damage.
It says the first, rated EF-1, hit near Ponoka on June 30, damaging trees, windows and a roof of a home.
