A federal government report says that avalanches are the deadliest natural hazard in the country.

Public Safety Canada said in a recent report, Evaluation of Public Safety’s Support to Avalanche Canada’s Long-Term Sustainability and Expansion of Services, that avalanches cause more deaths each year than other natural disasters, as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.
