Storms of June, 1999
June 1999 will go down in the books as one of the most inactive storm months I've witnessed.  The majority of the weather has been hot and humid, but with nothing to trigger any active weather it's was a very slow month...  2 confirmed tornados which is quite suprising considering there weren't many thunderstorms in the the southern areas of Ontario...
June 2nd - Severe thunderstorms, confirmed tornado
    A hot and humid airmass covered most of southern Ontario as a cold front pushed through, triggering scattered thunderstorms, some of which became severe.  A possible tornado touched down in the Wiarton area.  The Toronto Star reported the following:

  Ministry investigates suspected tornado

  WIARTON, Ont. (CP) -- An Environment Canada official is investigating a suspected tornado that blew apart a barn in the Bruce Peninsula on
  Wednesday.   Meteorologist Mike Leduc said that even though no one saw a funnel cloud,  the ministry was examining the damage today to determine if a tornado did  touch down.   A severe thunderstorm dropped more than five centimetres of rain in 20 minutes around noon
Wednesday in the Wiarton area.   Melanie Gilbert of Purple Valley, just outside Wiarton, said their 20 by 30 metre barn was ripped to pieces and a combine tractor was tossed about 20 metres through the air during the storm.  Gilbert estimated the damage at about $60,000.

Note: this tornado was confirmed by Environment Canada


June 25th - Confirmed tornado
    I didn't even know about this one until someone posted info about it on the wx-chase-can list.  Environment Canada confirmed a tornado touchdown just east of Ottawa near the town of St. Albert.
