The Southern regions of the Canadian Prairies (Alaska, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba) and interior British Columbia are most capable of having droughts. Throughout the past two centuries there have been at least 40 droughts in the western part of Canada which have lasted for multiple years.
Droughts in Eastern Canada are usually shorter, less frequent, less intense, and in smaller areas.
Droughts are less of a concern for northern Canada mainly due to their lower population densities; nevertheless, increased frequencies of forest fires during drought years can have serious economic impacts.
