Alberta is one of the riskiest provinces to live in: Insurance Bureau of Canada

Alberta hasn’t been able to catch a break since wildfires burned through the province in May and June. Since then, there have been floods — some even in the same places affected by wildfires.

This year has also seen one of the strongest tornadoes in Alberta's history — it touched downtown between Didsbury and Carstairs Saturday.

The province is still adding up totals of all the natural disasters but said so far this year wildfires alone have cost $700 million.

The Insurance Bureau of Canada says the province is one of the riskiest to live in because of its extreme weather.

Sarah Komadina takes a look at the economic impact.
