Sixteenth tornado of the season in Ontario added to the list.

Environment Canada has continued to investigate the occurrence of a 
possible tornado in the Erin area of Wellington County around 6:30 
P.M. EDT on Wednesday August 20. Based on the video evidence 
available there is sufficient justification to believe that this was 
likely a weak and short-lived tornado. No damage was reported in the 
area and so this event has been rated as an enhanced Fujita scale 
zero (efzero) tornado with winds of at least 90 kilometres per hour.

This now brings the total count of tornadoes in Ontario this year
To 16. Ontario normally verifies 12 tornadoes each year in a season 
that runs from late April until early October.
