The Alberta Energy Regulator has ordered a company to suspend fracking operations at a well site linked to an earthquake that was felt in the communities of Red Deer and Sylvan Lake. Natural Resources Canada says the 4.6 magnitude earthquake occurred in central Alberta around 5:55 a.m. on Monday. The regulator says Vesta Energy Ltd. must suspend hydraulic fracturing operations at the site. The regulator has also ordered Vesta to file a plan to eliminate or reduce future seismic activity from fracturing. Natural Resources Canada's website says the tremor was classified as a light earthquake
