The quake is a possible industry-related event, Earthquakes Canada said.
The quake was said to be lightly felt in Grande Prairie and the surrounding area.
No damage was reported and none is expected.
Earthquakes Canada's magnitude scale shows that quakes between 3.5 and 5.4 are "often felt, but rarely cause damage."
