There's also a risk of ice storms and severe snow storms and blizzards in the more northern parts. As far as I know, there are no active volcanoes in Canada.
In Wellington we have a huge earthquakes risk, obviously Christchurch now too (which was unknown before that there were fault lines), Dunedin and Invercargill has blizzard and flood risk and Auckland/Rotarua has active Volcanoes. So it's pretty normal I think.
